The Meinl Candela Percussion Hi-Hats were specially designed for cajon players. They can be played by hand or with lighter sticks. The top is extremely thin for a fast, controlled response. They work great with the Meinl Low Hat (584899), a short 29"-high hi-hat stand made specifically for use with a cajon. Meinl's Percussion Cymbals from the Candela Series have been designed to meet the specific requirements of today's percussionists. They are extremely thin cymbals and produce soft, exotic tones, are tonally matched, and respond even at lower volumes.
