The hammered outer edge on the bottom hi hat creates radical, clean, fast "chick." This original Mastersound hi hat delivers the fast, clean "chick" sound of the Mastersound design in the bright, natural, full-bodied voice of the world's best-selling cymbal series.

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.
