Hot, simmering darkness is the sound of HHX. With its 'Tone Projection' design, this 'Modern Dark' cymbal shoots its tone through the music around it. Darker, dryer, dirtier, funkier... only HHX delivers darkness with such efficiency.

I've owned a million cymbals it seem in the past 25 years including some of the industry standard, go-to hats. 14 Regular K's, 13" K/Z, some old 15" Ufips, New Beats, Z Customs, Paiste Signature Dark Crisps and even a Sabian HH Fusion set. But these groove hats really have a special sound - I don't find them to be quiet at all. In fact, they're a great replacement for the K/Z's I had at one time and I've used them so far on rock and blues gigs - no problem. Mine are the natural finish - which I think brings a little more of that crunchy "bite" sound when playing closed. The foot splash is a little clangy and the chick is where some might think it's thin. But I haven't played too many 13"s that sound like 14's with a mid range chick sound. Overall I'm very pleased and I certainly liked these hands above the Evolutions or any of the other AAX/AA series I demoed. They are a bit pricey so stay on the lookout for a deal...

5.0 out of 5 stars I love these hi-hats!, December 10, 2004

They sound great at low volumes as well as louder situations. They also have a bit of a retro thing going on. They may be too thin for many though - and not as responsive for quick stick-work.
