And then there's me and my HCS...

Not a single pair of those sounded bad.

For the love of God, every video should be like this. Watching individual symbols online is one thing but when you get them all in one video like this, I could really listen to each one and know which one that I like. It's not like every place you go that has cymbals has them all lined up for you to use all the time.

Hihats aside, that groove is tiiiight. Fantastic comparison video, love watching stuff like this!

[@abbdrums]

Yes! I love these seamless comparison videos.

[@IslamFalmi]

Please make this for chinas, crashes, rides and what not too!

[@FasterToTheEnd]

great video, but would love to hear them all played washed. i find a lot of great hats based on closed sound, but when played washed, they don't hold up.

Amazing how a hi-hat can give the snare a whole different feel! Nice!

[@louisoddie4667]

after 4 years of playing and a few months hard work i’m now the proud owner of a pair of 14” jazz thin hats and wow are they gorgeous

[@matthewsousa5470]

This is the video that’s been needed

[@domagojoinky8262]

My favourites are 14" Sand hats and 15" Extra dry dual hats.

[@iloveyoubebe]

Traditional 14”, Extra Dry 14” & Dark 14” are my favourites

[@davidsuprenant893]

This is the template for all manufacturers to get on board with.What a great video.Most people can't walk into a store and hear more than 2 different hats,or cymbals from the same manufacturers. This video really helps people.

[@DefkalionDs]

Hands down the best drums/cymbals related demo on dem youtubes.

[@Jaydouble-u]

The 15" and 16" extra dry medium thin just sound amazing to me! Sooo tempted to replace my set of Zildjian A customs for this.

[@robbiegrier1514]

Vintage Pure 14” Hats sound the best to me

[@Jerseab0y]

Best hi-hat comparison video yet. Thanks Meinl!!!

[@Gregsheff1]

I'll take one of everything.

[@mr0scary]

14" Byzance brilliant hats and 14" Byzance Dark hats.

[@Xtracheesed]

These videos are incredibly helpful in narrowing down what to demo in person. Thanks much!
