I got these high-hats as an early Christmas present. I had Ziljans, but they cracked to the middle during a local concert. These were my dad's pick, and I have to say, I'm so glad he picked these ones. They complete my kit. I wasn't too sure about them for how much we paid. But I was absolutley amazed when I put them on my set. A perfect sound and a GREAT price! If you're looking for good cymbals, and wanna save money, BUY THESE!

I ordered these recently to get rid of my hats that came with my kit(total crap!). I ordered the 13" as a cheap alternative that I thought Id replace later. I got them and just looking at them, I knew I was going to love them. I put them on my kit and played a few beats and was absolutely astonished! I have played on zildjian A customs, Sabian AAX, Sabian HHX, Paiste, and several other popular chices, and I have to say, I love the sound of these far above the others. It has a very satisfying CHICK closed and a wonderful sizzle open. Not to mention they are GORGEOUS. The picture makes them look crappy. They are a beautiful gold (Nothing like what Ive ever seen). Short story, buy them, they are great for beginner, intermediate and lower advanced.

I used these to add on as a secondary high hat next to my B8pro's... and I have changed my setup to have these Meinl as my primary because they sound SO much better and they are ALOT cheaper than the Sabian's. My entire rig is Sabian, but now im in the process of switching to Meinl. I own the 14" and I recommend these to those people who want a FANTASTIC cymbal at a very low cost... I think that just about covers everyone!...

When these babies finally arrived via UPS, I was so excited. I opened the box and they looked shinny and for some reason they were really warm. I attached them to my set and they were everything I expected. I got the 13' hi-hat although I am sure the 14' would be better, I have no complants about it. The only slight problem is with Musician Friend's not the cymbals. I order these with the 2-day option and they came 3 days later. I ordered it on 8-18 and got them early on 8-21, I think it was because it wasn't shipped out of the warehouse until early on 8-19. But its no biggie, I lve my new cymbals all the same. XD

I bought this thinking it would be ok but by far this is the best hi-hat cymbals ive ever had. they have amazing sound quality. I highly recommend this for new drummer =-D
