Reviews
"The first impression of the 14" hi-hat inspires me. A very good response and an effortless and balanced playing feel are mixed with a powerful chick sound - actually all the ingredients that you would expect from a not too heavy all-rounder hi-hat in the professional segment. On closer listening, I notice that the slight sharpness and somewhat tinny frequencies in the overall sound, especially on open, overlay the body of the hi-hat. With the statement: "It plays better than it sounds", would do the thi-hat cymbals an injustice, because they sound really good." - Christoph Behm
"As beat keepers, the 14" Xist hi-hats made a fine couple. They produced a clean, sharp stick sound with an overall warmth that rounded out the sound nicely. These cymbals blended into the band sound very well. Their volume range was wide, and their clarity remained true at any volume. When I opened them up during a chorus
section, their warmth kept them pleasing to the ear, even as I played them with force. When I kept time on the ride, the Xist hats complemented the groove with a bright, snappy "chick" from my left foot." - Dave Previ
"Very versatile hi hat. I use it mainly to play rock but with a lot of dynamics. They have plenty of potential to play live and are controllable enough to record without problem in the studio. Rich in warm harmonics and with a beautiful chick.

"They’re one of the few intermediate lines of cymbals that I know of that demonstrate dark tones. This means that the sounds from these cymbals are low-pitched. However, they have bright stick definition, so you get a cool combination of both cymbal qualities. You could use these in multiple musical settings, and they’d sound fantastic. The downside is that they don’t open up too well when you play them softly. You have to hit the cymbals hard to experience the full washy tone that they’re known for." - Brett Clur
