Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (27 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "The Gospel According To New Beat"
Sound: This is a rock hi-hat, but more than that, it's got just about the broadest evenest sound of anything out there. For less aggressive music play lightly and allow the New Beat's projection to cut through. It extends way into the treble but doesn't have a overbright quality, and very little clangy ugly resonances. One expensive sounding hat. Feature: Versatile. Played lightly it will get along with much lighter sounding drums and cymbals because it projects so well that you don't have to hit hard, or it can blend tonally with the heaviest Ziljdian crashes. Unlike some more specialized hats there aren't many playing techniques that won't be usable here- you don't have to lay into it, at all, to make it sound right. Ease of Use: Don't see how it could be better. Quality: No problems here either... Value: The only other hat I think is absolute top of the line is the K Custom Special Dry 13s, and those are much more light studio hats and less versatile, they just have even better articulation and evenness for what they are. New Beat 14s sell for somewhat less. I can't recommend them highly enough, love mine. Manufacturer Support: Can't imagine using support. Whoever heard of cymbal repair? Anyway, these are pretty sturdy hats- especially since you don't need to bash them, they should be forever, literally. The Wow Factor: I went to a store and tried every hat they had, and I had to have the New Beat 14s, period- even though I got to hear a pair of K Custom Special Dry 13s in person too (!) and fell in love with them as well. Overall: I'm a rock drummer, so there's no choice at all. New Beat 14s can do anything I need to do with hats, subtle or aggressive. It costs nearly $50 more to get a little more vibey texture and character than this, and you trade off the ability to get aggressive-sounding. If I had to have the absolute top end mellow vibey studio kit for soft rock or jazzy stuff I'd get K Custom Special Dry 13s and not look back, but no way. You can always tap the New Beats gently and use finesse.

"THESE THINGS RULW"
Sound: These thngs sound awesome. I was using zbt's and all i have to say is wow. These hi hats sound awesome. The chick sounds awesome. And when played open they are a dream. I play some in your face music and they cut through it like tissue paper. Feature: These hats have a lot of features. They sound good with pretty much and style of music. Quality: I would've loved for them to have a brilliant finish but i got them for free so i'm not complaining. Value: I am keeping these things forever. Manufacturer Support: I haven't had to call zildjian so thats good. The Wow Factor: They don't have much sex appeal because they aren't in a brilliant finish so i gave an 8. It's not about looks it's about sound and if you are a real musician you know that. Overall: Overall these cymbals are great. If you are looking to buy and you aren't sure what to get than get these guys. Trust me you will not be dissapointed.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
