Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with the bottom hi-hat?
No. This is the top cymbal only. You need a 14-inch bottom hi-hat to play it.
02Will it match a bottom I already own?
It fits any 14-inch bottom mechanically. Tonally it pairs most predictably with another A Series 14-inch bottom.
03What music does it suit?
It leans bright and cutting, which works well for rock, pop and live playing where the hi-hat needs to be heard.
04Is 14 inch the right size for me?
It is the standard hi-hat size and the safe default. Smaller sizes are tighter and quicker, larger ones louder and washier.
