Mastersound HiHats feature crimped edges on the bottom cymbal, which not only prevents air lock, but creates a lively, fast “chick” sound and an overall balanced tonal presence. Choose 13” diameter for more control and articulation, or 14” diameter for a versatile range of frequencies and full-bodied response.

This 24" beauty is designed to generate wide variations of sound. Thin in weight, it has a dark sound with plenty of overtones.

It features a smaller bell and exhibits a moderate degree of edge wobble. Drummers like Joey Castillo, Travis Barker, and Ronnie Vanucci have already made it their main ride.
