The Meinl 15" Pure Alloy Extra Hammered Hihat is a versatile and high-quality cymbal designed for drummers of all styles. With a medium-thin top and medium bottom, these hihats offer a unique sound with additional hammering throughout. The result is a pre-EQ'd cymbal with a dry attack in the upper-mid frequencies, providing a clear and focused voice.
These hihats also have a touch of sizzle and crunch in the low end, adding rich warmth and a naturally compressed response. You can open the top cymbal for thick barks, or close them for a dry foot chick. When fully opened, they produce a robust wash with plenty of volume and push. Crafted with Meinl's renowned Pure Alloy material, these hihats offer a timeless voice that is expressive in virtually any style. The fully lathed surfaces provide polished definition and a velvety wash, creating shimmering, smooth sounds that respond to your stick with ease.
Thanks to computerised hammering and expert craftsmanship in Germany, these hihats deliver a sustain that is medium to short, volume that is medium to low, and a mid-dark timbre with a high-mid pitch. Their medium-thin weight and pinpoint lathe contribute to their excellent stick definition. Finished in a traditional style, these hihats are a must-have for any drummer looking for professional-grade cymbals.
