The New Beat Hats are considered the most versatile Hi Hat cymbals in the world today. The original design was brought to us by the late, great drummer, Louie Bellson who sought a pair of Hi Hats with a solid beat and a perfect all-purpose combination of stick and “chick” sound. It is symmetrically machine hammered and lathed with a traditional wide groove. The result is an exuberant cymbal that bursts with a classic voice that is pure, bright, and expressive. The 13 in. hats work well as the main hi hats or make a great add on close hat sound. Still the same great chick sound but with a higher cutting pitch.
