The Zildjian 15" A New Beat Hi-Hats makes a triumvirate out of the bright tonality of inherent in the A family, an enlarged cymbal size for a larger presence, and a medium weight in the top cymbal and a heavy weight in the bottom for a heartily-defined "chick" sound. Conceived in the 1980s as a means to craft a cymbal which could compete with the bright, louder genres emerging at the time, this hi-hat pairing is full-bodied and robust. Perfect for players who want every articulation in their playing heard.
