Recently received and order and found that the HHX CLICK HATS sounded a lot like another set of hat's I truly adore.  Sticking with what I have and down sizing for now.

• These have been played for 2 SETS on stage. about 20 songs. Otherwise they are Brand New. 
• The bottom hat right side as the bell ascends has a circular "scratch". It's been there since these were delivered and I think it's just one of the characteristics of the process. No effect on the cymbal. 
• NO Keyholes
• This series is naturally off balanced as to create the desire effect. They are not "warped" as some would call them...it's a part of the design
• Warm yet crip - dirty and a bit crunchy all the while - not harsh. Similar in some ways and the Complex series.
