Soundcaster Custom Powerful Hi-Hat Cymbals are very energetic, powerful, and balanced, with a brilliant high-pitched open hi-hat sound. Played with the foot, they deliver a strong chick caused by heavier weight. The Soundcaster Customs have a built-in glassy high end that's grounded in a bed of warm tone. You can use them for almost anything. They're that versatile: metal, punk, alternative, rock, country, pop. They're great for live or studio use. They're made in Germany using B12 bronze alloy, with a super brilliant finish that gives them a striking appearance on stage.
