The Legendary New Beat Hi-hats Are Now Available In A Smaller, 12" Size. The Zildjian 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.
