Fill in the gaps on your cymbal kit with these affordable hihats, the first ever sheet bronze cymbals designed with the Zildjian Mastersound edge. Mastersound hihats have quickly established themselves as serious sound performers at an excellent value price. "Mastersound" refers to the rippled wave design on outer edge of the bottom cymbal. It’s this hammered edging that helps air escape as you close the hats, creating a speedier response and better definition when stepping.
But there’s more to the ZHT Mastersound hihats than just great price and innovative design. Sonically speaking, they are tight and bright with a pleasantly surprising tonal sophistication and volume projection usually reserved for more expensive cast cymbals. The influence of the B12 alloy also helps distinguish these cymbals by giving them a higher pitch, quicker decay and more warmth and musicality than you might expect. Visually, the traditional finish gives the hihats a darker, richer hue.
Choose your cymbal, choose your size! With their smaller diameter, the 13” hihats control articulation while the wavy Mastersound bottom boosts foot chick and tonality across a wide area. The 14” hihats have a lively, fast “chick” sound. Top of the line 15” hihats are clean and powerful, delivering plenty of presence in many types of musical settings.
