This pair of Paiste Alpha 14" Power Hi Hat cymbals have done their share of rocking, but they sound great, they look great, and they still have lots of rock n roll left in them. These cymbals are in good condition, with some signs of wear & tear... but no cracks or warping of any kind. They sound great with a nice "chick" and they rerally cut through, especially for rock or metal. I love these cymbals, the Alphas were a great budget line that gave excellent value and plenty of "bang for your buck". BUT... I just got a new set of cymbals, which is why I am selling these. I want them to find a good home where they will get to keep rocking for the rest of their lives.
