LOL....yep, guilty your worship.
I'm not telling my 13" K/Z Specials that they're unwelcome in a blues setting. They'll be most upset and wondering why I allowed them to be used the first time round. ;-)
Thanks for the tips everyone!
I was actually looking at a pair of Sabian 13" HHX Evolution hats. I played them at my local music store and I'm really digging the sound; just not digging the price so much
Anyone have any experience with these hats?
Light and quick. I came into a complete Sabian Paragon set several years back at a killer price so I took em all and the case. Way more cymbals than I need, but there are 2 sets of hats in there. I tried the smaller pair and fell in love with them.
If not for getting that set I'd never have tried them.
Maybe not the best for chinky heavy Zep type timekeeping, but very versatile and fun to play.
please describe how 13'"s are "Maybe not the best for chinky heavy Zep type timekeeping, but very versatile and fun to play.". i would like a versatile hat that can do classic rock era stuff (funk / blues / country et al). 14's were unavailable so i ordered the 13"'s. did i make a mistake ?
i think i'd like the quick response, but the reach distance would be a drag and i would like a nice strong chick.
thanks.

As I was saying ...Didn't notice an appreciable difference in reach. I think they are "quicker" in terms of foot action though. Slightly...but noticable for me.
To my ears, they don't cut through as well as the 14s in a live situtaion where there is some volume. Just a gut feeling. Out in front of the kit they may sound identical but when playing live felt like I had to hit them harder in a time keeping role. Hope this is helpful.
