Description
Scaled down to 12″ but full of character, this A Zildjian Special Recording hi hat pair delivers a controlled, articulate sound suited to close-mic’d recording sessions and tight mixes alike. Expect a solid, clean “chick” with pinpoint definition rather than a wash of overtones – ideal when you need the hats to sit precisely in a track.
- Finish: Traditional
- Size: 12″ cymbal pair
- Top cymbal: Medium weight
- Bottom cymbal: Medium heavy weight
- Sound character: Solid, controlled chick with loud volume potential
- Sold as a matched pair
The medium-weight top paired with a heavier bottom gives players a responsive foot chick and crisp stick articulation, making this pairing a practical choice across styles that call for a more focused, less washy hi hat voice. Because of its smaller diameter, it’s a handy option for compact kit setups, secondary hats, or situations where a full-size pair would be too dominant in the mix.
Suitable for players at any stage – beginner, intermediate, advanced, or professional – who want a dependable, no-nonsense hi hat sound that translates well both live and in the studio.
