I own a jamroom, and obviously investing in expensive pair of cymbals everytime is something not really feasible. At first i was skeptical about these pair of hats, since they're going to be used the most! I must say, after buying them and after a couple of jams, these hold up quite well. Not to mention they sound excellent too. if you're on a budget and wanting to get a good pair of hi-hats, go for these!
