Strong match

Who this is for

  • Completing a starter kit that came with no usable hats
  • Practice space hats that take daily punishment
  • Second set of hats for a rehearsal room or spare kit

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Studio work where the hat chick and sizzle are exposed in the mix
  • Players wanting a crisp, tight jazz stick sound
  • Anyone already on a pro cymbal line who'd hear the drop

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

14-inch pair

The default hi-hat size. Balances a clear closed chick with enough body when half-open.

Detail 02

Sold as a pair

Top and bottom are matched, so you don't have to guess at pairing two loose cymbals.

Detail 03

Entry-level line

Closed sound is a bit blunter and open wash shorter than pro hats. Fine live, obvious under a close mic.

Detail 04

$114.99 for both

Covers both cymbals, not one. Per-cymbal this sits below most single crashes.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No hi-hat stand included — that's a separate, heavier stand than a cymbal stand
  2. 02You need a clutch to hold the top hat; check whether your stand came with one
  3. 03Felt washers on the bottom seat matter; missing felts will kill the sound and choke the pair

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this include the hi-hat stand?

No. It's the two cymbals only. A hi-hat stand and a clutch are separate and required to play them.

02Which one goes on top?

The lighter cymbal goes on top, the heavier one seats on the bottom of the stand. Mismatching them muddies the chick.

03Are 14-inch hats too big for a beginner?

No. 14 inches is the standard size and what most kits are built around. Smaller hats are a specialty choice, not a beginner one.

04Is $114.99 for one cymbal or two?

Two. This is a matched pair, top and bottom, so the price covers the full hi-hat.
