All user reviews for the Paiste 402 Hi-Hat 14''

I play it for 8 years this is my first hi-hat. A good plan because very versatile and inexpensive in OCCAZ. Unlike other hi-hats in this price range, the harmonics are controlled and enjoyable, even the PST 5 seem to me below. Remarkable finish, we still wonder if it is new. In short if you beginners and you see a 4o2 Charley, presto go for it. The ride is nice too, but the bell is not top. In short it is a far cry from the hi-hat 302 and better than PST5.

Excellent for this range! I use it for over a year (bought used). Very good value: around € 100 new. We can control the various harmonics, and the open hi-hat sound is very nice, fine, silky. Much higher than the 302, do not be fooled by appearances, this hat is more like a mid-range at Paiste, as the bottom. Next appearance it sparkles, and I think he will shine long. This is an excellent compromise, we can keep it long, I think even for a pro. Well obviously, on some shots you do not feel the power of an Alpha or 2002 (hehe!) But still what Charley has character.
