Meinl Pure Alloy Extra Hammered Hi Hat Cymbals 14"

Meinl 14" Pure Alloy Extra Hammered Hi-Hats

The 14” Pure Alloy Extra Hammered Hi-Hats are designed for drummers seeking a sophisticated, "pre-EQ’d" sound right out of the box. Featuring a medium-thin top and a medium bottom with extensive additional hammering, these hats offer a clear, focused voice that excels in both live and studio environments.

Focused Voice and Compressed Response

The unique hammering process and weight pairing give these hi-hats a distinct sonic personality:

• Dry Attack: The upper-mid frequency focus provides a dry, articulate attack, ensuring your stick patterns remain crisp and defined.
• Natural Warmth: A hint of sizzle and crunch in the low end creates a rich warmth and a naturally compressed response that sits perfectly in a mix.

Dynamic Range and Versatility

From subtle footwork to aggressive barks, these hi-hats respond to every nuance of your playing:

• Defined "Chick" and "Bark": When closed, they deliver a dry, consistent foot chick; partially opened, they produce thick, authoritative barks.
• Robust Wash: When played fully open, the Pure Alloy bronze presents a robust wash with plenty of volume and forward push to cut through the band.
• Extra Hammered Texture: The additional hammering throughout the shell refines the overtones, resulting in a focused and professional tonal character.

Experience the perfect balance of modern precision and traditional warmth with the Meinl 14" Pure Alloy Extra Hammered Hi-Hats.
