I love the feel of these hi hats. Buttery under the sticks, dark, clean sound. Nice wash when played loose or half open. Decent but not great chick (as you would expect from lighter hats). Record beautifully. I have no problem recommending these far anyone looking for something similar to a Zildjian K light hi hat but on a budget. Don't spend the extra money on fancy names if you're after great sound. No need to look further, especially for lighter music. Also play some funk/fusion and these fit in well.
