17” Xist Dry Dark Hi Hats
Dark and trashy attack. Washy, yet with a quick decay. Insert an additional 17″ Dry Dark Crash resting in the bottom cymbal for a focused attack on top and a fat, crunchy attack on the side as well as a more prominent chick sound. Paired with the 17″ Dry Dark Crash as an alternate bottom, they’re dark, and trashy but with moderate volume.
When not used as a Hi Hat Pair, the top cymbal makes an explosive full bodied crash, and the bottom can be used as a small light ride or bell effect.
