General
The sound of the Meinl Classics C14MSW Medium Soundwave Hi-hats is very rich, and has a cutting pedal chick. The bottom cymbal of this pair of hi-hats has a special shape that prevents air-lock, so that the cymbals move around more freely and create a more sizzling sound. These medium hi-hats are excellently suited for lighter styles of music, such as jazz, fusion and blues, and are also great for use as an effect cymbal in orchestras or percussion groups.
Meinl Classics: excellent quality
Meinl's Classics series has a wide range of products that complement each other nicely. The combination of the bright sound and excellent quality makes this series a great choice for beginning drummers, orchestras or percussion groups. You'll even find Classics cymbals on stage or in the studio with many a (semi)professional drummer.
