Here's a swell set of hats from the 2002 series. The Paiste 2002 Heavy Hi-hats share characteristics with other weighty cymbals: namely they're bright bold and cutting. But the story doesn't end there. GearNuts drummers were impressed with how musical these hats sound at any dynamic level. For being so substantial the 2002 Heavy Hi-hats are neither excessively bright nor loud. But you can certainly hear their weight in stick attacks and as you pump time.
