I owned them for 7 months now. These hats are really thick - the bottom cymbal is extremely fat. Great for heavier music. I like these A LOT more than my previous Sabian AAX 13" Stage Hats. Has good (not great) chicc. Sounds great fully closed and fully open, half open - only acceptable/good (probably the weakest point of these hats). Brilliant finish looks amazing on them - hard to keep clean though.
There are a couple hammering marks that look and feel weird (too black and too hard/deep), other than that they look great - looks like they will last a lifetime.
They sound heavy and bright, and they are properly loud.
Would easily recommend these for anyone playing heavier music - and would consider for those who play pop/hip hop/country, etc. Couldnt imagine seeing these hats in jazz though.
