Want some advice on tiny thin hats please!!

[Tommy Option]

Hello People!

Only just signed up, great site. Looks like there's a hella lot of talent on here!

I saw a funk band the other day and the drummer had some tiny thin hats. Couldn't have been bigger than about 10\11". Anybody suggest anywhere I could get some similar ones? Really love that sound, don't mind whatsoever (in fact maybe would prefer!) it if they from back in the day.

Any links or general advise would be great. I live in England by the way!

Cheers,

Tommy.

EBay may have some. So does Musicians Friend. Right......here (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Zildjian-ZHT-HiHat-Pair?sku=445510). This is just one I looked up. In the "search" box, look for (8,-10") Hi-Hat. Some choices will come up.

Peace

I saw someone here was thinking of putting two splashes together and making hats... anyone else done that?

Nutha Jason did that with two RUDE splashes I believe and they were bitchin'.

Anyway, I hear the Special Recording hats are lovely.
