Among cymbal sets I own, including complete sets of the Zildjian K Custom Special Dry and Session series, A. Zildjian and cie "Vintage" series, and a few others, the most versatile is the Armand series. While there are still some musical applications that the Armand series cymbals are not the best choice, this pair of hi-hats is.They are thinner and more responsive than Zildjian A Series 14-Inch New Beat Hi-Hat Cymbals Pair, and if you keep your hi-hat clutch loose you can get that sloshing sound that Ringo made popular in rock (and countless swing and jazz drummers before him employed to excellent effect.)Note that, like the rest of the Armand series, these hats tend towards a brighter pitch and come overtones. It is controllable to a point, and even when played tightly closed projects if you want them. The "chick" is probably not as pronounced as what you can get from New Beats, but foot splashes are amazing (if you use those in your playing), and that classic sound is there.Zildjian advertises that the Armand series captures the classic 60s rock sound. I agree. They also represent the sound of the 1950s Avedis cymbals, and to my ears capture the sound of the cymbals Joe Morello played in Time Out, one of the greatest jazz albums of all time. When I am playing blues and some jazz I pair these hats with my Zildjian A Series 21-Inch Armand Ride Cymbal on the right and Zildjian 19-Inch Armand Zildjian Beautiful Baby Ride Cymbal on the left and I am good to go (I do not use crash of splash cymbals).Check out the entire Armand line if you are in the market for some great, general-purpose cymbals. However, these hats will work with any series or brand of cymbals and in every musical genre I can imagine. They are among the best Zildjian has made in decades.
