News
A Custom Mastersounds feature the same crisp, rich and colorful sounds associated with the A Custom range, but featuring a bolder, clearer "chick" sound and full-bodied overall sound.
A Custom cymbals deliver a sophisticated expression of classic Zildjian A Series sounds. They feature thinner weights and radically innovative hammering.
Zildjian Hi Hats - The heart of your set-up.
The Hi Hat is a timekeeping necessity for all drummers. Because the Hi Hat and the Ride both play a part in keeping time, the relationship between them is very important. They should be selected together, and they should complement each other.
What makes a great Hi Hat
The bottom cymbal should be relatively heavier than the top cymbal. This will ensure a good, clean "chick" sound. It is important that the volume of your Hi Hats balance with your snare and bass drums.
Played by:
Mike Mangini - Tribe of Judah
Gary Novak - Alanis Morissette
Abe Cunningham - Deftones
Rob Bourdon - Linkin Park
Marvin McQuitty - Fred Hammond and Radical For Christ
Thierry Arpino - Jean-Luc Ponty

Zildjian A Custom Mastersound Hi-Hat Cymbals Reviews
10 out of 10
"The Holy Grail of Hi-Hats!!"
Feature:
The flanged bottom is the key to great volume when the hat is closed. It allows the stick sound to project and keep a great tone. Also I find that when I'm using my ride and just keeping time with my hat it enhances the sound of the ride like I've never been able to achieve with other hats.
Quality:
Zildjian quality speaks for itself!! I clean them once a week before gigs with "Groove Juice" cymbal cleaner and 6 months of jamming has yet to produce a crack or even a permanent stick mark. And that is using "A-Head" 2B sticks.
Value:
No more expensive than an a good set of quality hats.
Desirability:
As with all the "A Custom" series these hats have a great finish and look great under the lights.
Sound:
Over the last 25 years I've tried several brands and types of hats and have never been happy with the sound. Thanks to Zildjian's web site and these reviews I was able to find and hear the Master Sound hats. After 6 months of using them almost daily, I'm still blown away by their sound. Clean, crisp, bright, and can play jazz or metal with equal presence. I can't say enough about their sound!! "The Holy Grail of Hi Hats"
Support:
Never needed it
Overall:
Short of Fire, Theft, of Nuclear Holocaust, these will be the last type of hats I will purchase.
