Meinl Pure Alloy 14" Extra Hammered Hi-Hats bring a beautifully complex sound to your drum kit. The extra hammering process subtly alters the vibration characteristics of each cymbal, adding tonal depth and a slightly edgy “trashiness” without sounding harsh, especially when played half-open. These hi-hats deliver a rich, dark foot splash and a full-bodied “chick” sound, making them ideal for jazz, progressive rock, and harmonically rich music. Their fully lathed surfaces provide a higher wash-to-stick ratio, giving a sweet, lingering sustain that drummers love in both studio and live settings.

Crafted with both precision and musicality in mind, Meinl Pure Alloy hi-hats offer drummers a professional-quality feel and sound. Designed for maximum stick definition and expressive playing, these hi-hats combine traditional craftsmanship with modern tonal versatility. Sky Music Australia presents these hi-hats for drummers seeking a unique, harmonically rich, and stage-ready cymbal set.
