Description

The Meinl 15″ Pure Alloy Extra Hammered Hihat is a versatile and high-quality cymbal designed for drummers of all styles. With a medium-thin top and medium bottom these hihats offer a unique sound with additional hammering throughout. The result is a pre-EQd cymbal with a dry attack in the upper-mid frequencies providing a clear and focused voice. These hihats also have a touch of sizzle and crunch in the low end adding rich warmth and a naturally compressed response. You can open the top cymbal for thick barks or close them for a dry foot chick. When fully opened they produce a robust wash with plenty of volume and push. Crafted with Meinls renowned Pure Alloy material these hihats offer a timeless voice that is expressive in virtually any style. The fully lathed surfaces provide polished definition and a velvety wash creating shimmering smooth sounds that respond to your stick with ease. Thanks to computerised hammering and expert craftsmanship in Germany these hihats deliver a sustain that is medium to short volume that is medium to low and a mid-dark timbre with a high-mid pitch. Their medium-thin weight and pinpoint lathe contribute to their excellent stick definition. Finished in a traditional style these hihats are a must-have for any drummer looking for professional-grade cymbals.

Cymbals

Cymbals add accents, timekeeping, colour and dynamics to a drum setup. This category includes hi-hats, rides, crashes, splashes, Chinas and packs, each with different sizes, weights, profiles, alloys, hammering and finishes. Compare stick definition, wash, sustain, response, volume and how the cymbal will blend with the kit and musical style. A cymbal’s sound also depends on mounting and playing technique. Check the exact type and diameter, and remember that cymbal stands, bags and felts may need to be purchased separately.

Hi-Hats

Hi-hats use a pair of cymbals operated by a foot pedal for timekeeping, accents and changing degrees of openness. Compare diameter, top and bottom weights, profile, edge response, chick sound, stick definition and how quickly the cymbals open and close. Some listings are a matched pair, while others describe an individual top or bottom cymbal. Check the wording carefully and remember that a hi-hat stand, clutch, felts and accessories may not be included. The right pair should complement the drummer’s touch, volume and musical style.
