Meinl 14” Classics Custom Dark Hi Hat Cymbals Review

Taking into account both quality and price, these are by far some of the best hi hats available on the drum market. These cymbals deliver an incredible sound that is dark, warm and explosive. They have a refined tone and powerful character due to the extra hammering on the quality B10 bronze alloy.


These hi hats are super responsive and have a premium, dry tone. The dark finish in addition to the extra hammering provides these cymbals with an earthy, complex and rich sound that works well with all musical styles. When these hi hats are played whilst they are closed, they deliver a tight, clean “chick” sound that is also mellow and low in pitch. When the hi hats are open, they have an explosive sound that is dark and powerful.


The dark finish on these hi hats not only provides your drum set with a unique look, but it is also responsible for providing a premium, drier sustain that is a desirable quality found in sought-after cymbals. These hi hats are an absolute joy to play, and they have a really musical tone with a good level of attack, that also sits perfectly in the overall natural mix of the drum kit. The sound is great for pop, rock, hip-hop, fusion, funk, metal and many other popular styles of music!


The Meinl Classic Custom Dark hi hat cymbals not only sound fantastic, but they also offer unbeatable value for the money. These are the best hi hat cymbals for the money and if you are looking for a professional set of hi hat cymbals at an affordable price then look no further!
