Without a great-sounding pair of hats you can't keep the music train rolling. That's why the Meinl 13" HCS hi-hat pair delivers such an articulate clean sound - to help you drive the beat. Tailor-made for pop and rock these hi-hats provide a crisp "chick" when closed and sustaining undertones when played open. These hi-hats were crafted in Germany from durable MS63 brass alloy which holds up to the force of your sticks while maintaining excellent musical pitches and tones.
