Very balanced hi-hat with a healthy dose of dirt and a note of darkness.

The Paiste Reflector Hi-Hat cymbals provide a fairly dirty, cutting, and rich sound with a wide range and complex mix. It has a very responsive feel; is full, barking and piercing, yet with a somewhat cushy open sound with a tight chick sound. Paiste Reflectors deliver enhanced power for players who require a consistently strong pair of hi-hats.

Excellent Hi Hats

I fell in love with these hats when I played them for the first time. First of all, the finish is beautiful. You have to see them, cause pictures don't do them justice. Now to the important part, the sound. What musical style do they best fit in to? Almost every one. You can play them really soft for Jazz or something, but if you hit them hard - boy, they are loud :D. I myself play Rock and Metal mostly, but I didn't want a pair of hats that can only be used to play those styles - so I got the Reflector Heavy Full Hi Hats :D The overall sound is somewhat dark, but they got the mid- and high-frequencies that make them sound "full" and cut through the guitars and stuff. Although they are heavy, I recommend them to everyone. They are really professional Hi Hats. But as always, try them before you buy them, cause they are quite expensive and everybody has a different taste.

I really like these hats. I've always played Zildjian for the last 28 years. Now that I've been checking out the sound difference I am switching to Paiste. Paiste has this glass shattering sound to me verses the metallic sound that Zildjian has.
