Meinl Pure Alloy 15" Medium Hi-Hat

I spent months searching for my perfect pair of hat can couldn’t find anything that matched the sound in my head, until I found the 15” pure alloy hats.
As a rock drummer I wanted a high hat that had a tight “ts” when closed and was deep sounding and washy when open.
Meinl 15” pure alloy high hats are incredibly versatile and sound amazing live as well as recorded! I couldn’t recommend them more

I can't speak for other's preferences but this fit exactly what I needed. That bright washy bs that sounds nice, like a volley of waves crashing against the sand. Closed they cut through the mix pretty decently. A present and solid sound when using the edge. 15 inches too, so you're almost always mogging any of the house kit hats by an inch. Every time I pull these out of my bag, I know for sure at least I'M going to have a good time.
