  Overall Opinion

  These Hi hats are from Akira Jimbo's hybrid line.  I actually think that they are 1/4 inch bigger than 13's (not that its that big of a deal).  When I first saw the hybrid lines, it seemed like a good idea.  I figured it was a bit gimmicky because it was a little too weird.  I don't strike the coated part too much on the hi hats, sort of negating the hybrid technology.  The only time I would hit the coating is when i get the hat bell with the side of the stick.  I don't usually do this, regardless of the cymbal type.  However, whether I take advantage of the hybrid nature or not, these hats really rip through any circumstance. 
  
  
  
  The chick is great, one of the highlights.  It harnesses the punch of a solid cymbal with the soft overtones of the K customs.  It cuts through all kinds of music, even heavier rock.  These are brighter than most K customs, which helps to make them more versatile.  When struck with the shoulder of the stick, the response if very solid and steady, more than most 13" hi hats I have encountered.  Maybe the extra quarter inch does make a difference....  Even the splash is great, not too overpowering or tinny.  Whatever alloy they used, they totally nailed a great sound.
  
  
  
  Whether the coating makes a difference is debatable in my opinion, but the overall quality of this product is fantastic.  I have to give it to Akira, he definitely made one of the greatest signature series cymbals  I have ever used.  I would recommend this to anyone looking for a versatile and interesting cymbal.  Cater Beauford used these hats for a long time, and that says something too.  I just wish I could have heard these in a larger size, such as 15 inches.  That would be really interesting.

  Overall Opinion

  I buy the complete set K c is the hybrid PREMIUM ZILDJIAN! have the gear is in the ultra professional, my advice is get to the point were close to the cymbals trs perfect for styles (jazz, rock, funk, latin, pop)
  
  
  
  the sound is pure in pure, ultra Dfine, either for the hi-hat or ride the crash.
  
  
  
  If the cymbal is martellage spcial combining both traditional and old K A custum Avedis gives a warm and clear, bright harmonious incomparable with other brands.

  Overall Opinion

  Hi,
  
  
  
  I rcemment acquired Cymbal Zildjian K Custom Hybrid Hi-Hat 13 ".
  
  Ben you know what: it's a killing.
  
  
  
  I am not a great expert but I pass by before the Paiste and others but not hsitation the next time I resume.
  
  
  
  I am a drummer plutt rock, hard rock and some punk, so the game with semi open hi-hat and some big hits, and charley Ragit great.
  
  A broad and complex spectrum, sustain long enough, and its really warm and rich.
  
  
  
  The kicking game is also trs good, but that's normal priori since it is a charley plutt jazz departure.
  
  
  
  I will no more m'taler but if you want to try, no risk, it's super cam.

  Overall Opinion

  I acquired this Charley two weeks ago before a recording session. (For history the seller told me that Jimbo c'tait Hakira who oversees the design of the hi-hat)
  
  
  
  For me, one approaches the charley perfect both warm and brilliant, allowing it to be trs trs prcis blur or as needed.
  
  
  
  I love his openness and his foot. He is extremely docile jou open for the mtal example, stringent trs trs of progressive warm for jazz.
  
  
  
  It possde a system that evacuation of air into the cymbal infrieure, which helps.
  
  
  
  I researched THE charley and APRS compared to many other models (several days Baguetterie: thank you in passing;)) c'tait empty: I could choose only one l.
  
  
  
  I find the report quality price while fine for the sound.
  
  
  
  Surely there are ultra MODELS spcialiss for certain styles, but there is hardly better in the heat / precision. In addition to the hi-hat 13 "for me is the best!
  
  
  
  I hsiter remake that choice without a second.
