Don’t be concerned about adding the Classics Medium Soundwave Hihats to your existing drum set. They are designed to complement and blend in well with the other Meinl cymbals you already own.
Even though they are also a more affordable option for less experienced drummers, Classics Hihats still deliver the outstanding sound quality and dynamics you demand and expect in a Meinl cymbal.
These quality cymbals feature a waved bottom for faster air release which helps sends its loud, sizzling open hihat sound soaring. They also have a strong, warm character and a fat cutting chick to go with it. Using a high-tech computerized crafting process with hammered and lathed detail, Classics Hihats are made in Germany from a premium B8 bronze alloy that boasts outstanding visual and sonic strengths that work in unison to help give you a musical edge as you practice and rehearse.
You'll enjoy playing these powerful hihats in regular music settings, but also in louder rock, alternative and metal situations where the cymbal's cutting sound slices through surrounding music.
Meinl Classics Series cymbals are a popular pick with early stage and semi-professional drummers who are still in the process of perfecting their skills, but want more creative license and freedom in order to give their sound and playing style a more articulate and professional attitude.
