Best Paiste 12" PSTX Cajon Hats Alternatives

Based on 2 reviews

These Stewart Copeland signature hi-hats are based on Stewart's prototype hi-hats that he's used since around 2007. This set is basically the 12" Signature Micro Hat bottom cymbal and the 12" Twenty series hi-hat bottom cymbal used on the top (B20 alloy). They are reasonably heavy in weight and have good volume. Played closed, they have an extremely tight sound. Played open, they have a lovely sizzling, bright and full sound - unlike anything I have heard before. I usually find 12" hats too lightweight for rock music but these would be very suitable due to their weight, projection and slightly lower pitch. Paiste produce the best cymbals I have ever heard and these are highly recommended among their outstanding range of hi-hats.

Bought these for a suitcase kit. Has a really nice dark sound without being too sharp which is just what I wanted. The only downside for me is that it's hard to get a good sizzle out of it versus my usual hi hats but otherwise they're great for a small set up.

This Schlagwerk Hi-Hat is a great addition for anyone seeking to expand their cajon into a small cajon-drum kit. I have used the Hi-Hat in combination with a cajon and two other Schlagwerk Cajon cymbals (the 12" and 14" crash/ride). Together with a small snare, it results in a low-volume and versatile cajon-drum kit. In my opinion, the best result for playing this hi-hat is achieved when played with sticks; Sticks are indispensable for getting that crips hi-hat sound, and also result in a better sound balance between the cajon and hi-hat. As ever, the quality Schlagwerk's products is excellent, and so is the price.
