    I picked up a used/abused pair of 13's because they sounded great in the store. They appeared to have been stored in a barn, under a pigeon roost, but cleaned up okay with CLR in the sink. Anyway, LOVE them. Great chick, although a bit softer than my New Beat hats (which I always play with the bottom on top), a buttery feel under the stick, yet good articulation on faster passages. The "wash" on open hat use is great too. Finding these nasty hats led me down the dark path- to a 20" K Custom Dark ride and 18" K Custom Dark crash.

    I bought these along with a 22" ride. The hi-hats are bright but very diverse and produce sounds that can change the feel of your playing. I like this purchase and glad to have it with my collection.

  • Exactly what I expected
