Used by musicians from nearly every genre of music the lively and powerful Masters Dark hi-hat is truly fantastic. You get great punch and clarity that can easily cut through a mix. If you’re looking at an upgrade for your current cymbal set this range will not dissapoint.

Dark Masters series

Masters started out as an assemblage of twelve rides – exquisite and laboriously hand-manufactured cymbals made of CuSn20 bronze to achieve superior sound ideals in various musical genres. In 2014, three crashes and two hats join the series to expand the unique Masters sound atmosphere to additional cymbal types. Masters integrate the experience of the decades long art of cymbal making with the inspirations of international top drummers.

Category

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.
