Product Spotlight: 14" New Signature Light Dark Hats Mark I

Once again, Paiste's knowledge in making cymbals through the work of our drummer service staff in addition to the precious feedback from our artists have summed up a vast array of inputs for a certain sound. The idea in creating the 14" New Signature Light Dark Hats Mark I was derived from the necessity to combine purity and dynamics in a Hi-Hat cymbal.

Many of us have experienced the harsh hi-hat sounds at a gig, sounds that overpower the entire band which prevent the drummer from driving the band to a comfortable level. Further, we know a hi-hat sound can easily bleed into the tom or overhead mics creating an imbalance to the mix of the music being heard from the audience.

One hi-hat that flawlessly resolves these particular issues are the 14" New Signature Light Dark Hats Mark I. A very sensitive hi-hat with a dark edge and a light touch, they contain a foamy crispness and a mighty chick. These hats are very appealing to play. With a soft and buttery feel upon the touch of a drumstick, the Light Dark Hats are not too loud and are gentle.

They are perfectly suited for Jazz, Blues, Swing, Country, acoustic, Soul, Funk, Latin or Big band applications. And they're so inviting to the ear which will please you, your band mates and the audience you're performing in front of. Did we mention that that they record just magnificently? That's whole other topic we will need to discuss at another time. Give them a listen. Give them a listen

Look like they are amazing... I like the raw bell and hammering pattern. Will probably cost an arm & leg though.

I was lucky to get the New Sig Dark Energy Mark 1Hats for USD282...selling nett at USD500 from our Paiste Distributor here. I believed it will cost USD500.00 for this piece....

Was thinking whether I should sell my Existing New Sig Dark Energy Hats ... then top-up some money to buy this new one?????...but wonder if it sound really as nice as what Paiste quoted...!!! We don't have this in Singapore as yet, wonder if any of you from the states had tried this New Hats before and give me some idea before I order it...

Call to cymbals only. It's one of the best companies.

Those hats are some where between Traditional and New Sign. Dark Energy.
