Meinl Cymbals Pure Alloy Hi-hat Cymbals - 15-inch, Extra Hammered


Sells separately for $439.99





Hammering cymbals changes their vibration characteristics, thus adding tonal complexity and eventually lending a “trashiness” to heavily hammered cymbals. The Meinl Pure Alloy extra-hammered hi-hat cymbals certainly aren’t trashy in the same way that a china cymbal is, but Sweetwater drummers feel there’s a slight edge to their sound, especially when played half-open. These extra-hammered hi-hat cymbals also have a dark, rich foot splash and a ‘chick’ sound with a lot of body that feels very satisfying to play. All in all, the Pure Alloy extra-hammered hi-hat cymbals are beautifully complex-sounding cymbals that blend well with jazz, progressive rock, and other harmonically rich genres.
