If you're a beginner or semi-professional drummer who likes more sophisticated expression, then make a place in your set for this ultra responsive hihat powerhouse. And don't worry about conflicting sounds or the cymbals fighting against one another.
Classics Powerful Soundwave Hihats are designed to complement all the other Meinl cymbals you already have for seamless transition. Even though they are a more affordable option for less experienced drummers, Classics Hihats still deliver the outstanding sound quality and percussion dynamics you expect in a well-designed, well-made cymbal.
These quality cymbals feature a wavy bottom that prevents congestion by letting air escape quickly while generating an energetic and powerful feel for engaging rhythm emphasis. The strong, fast cutting chick has a loud and sizzling open hihat sound signature.
Using a high-tech computerized crafting process with precise hammered and lathed detail, Classics Hihats are made in Germany from a premium B8 bronze alloy that's well regarded for its outstanding visual and sonic strength. Put these powerful hihats to work in regular music settings or in louder volume situations where the cymbal’s cutting sound is able to slice through surrounding music.
Adding Meinl bronze cymbals to your kit puts you in good company with acclaimed drummers and Meinl endorsers like Tommy Clufetos of Rob Zombie, Michael Bram who plays with Jason Mraz, and Barry Kerch of Shinedown.
