The Meinl Soundcaster Fusion Medium Hi-hat Cymbals offer smooth and voluminous open hi-hat sound with a defined chick, and wide dynamic spectrum with a warm character. The top and bottom each combine two different finishes. The lathed surface section has a thinner edge due to its close lathing compared to the unlathed, brilliant finish area at the middle of the cymbal. The different thicknesses produce a warm and shimmering sound with an enhanced wash.
