ScooterMathias Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 I am looking to upgrade my hats and I'm not sure what to buy or even try. I currently have Paiste 14" hats, but I really don't like it... my hi-hat sounds dead. I'm looking for a clean sounding bright set of hats... I look to all of you for some input. I'm new to this forum, but it's the best one around. I really appreciate any information you kind gentlemen could give me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felix stein Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 What kind of Paiste's do you have? What kind of crashes and rides are you playing and what style of music what venues will you be playing, etc. You are asking us something like..."I'm starting a painting and I'm wondering what colors should I use." felix's band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Scooter, my son recently bought some Sabian HH Regular 13" hi hats and I liked them well enough that I bought HH Regulars, too, but 14". These are great all-around hats, but emphasize mid-tones rather than really bright tones like my old Zildjians. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidereal Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 I still think it's an impossible question to answer. what kind of music do you play and what kind of character do you want in the hat? Just for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
