The Dream Contact Series 14" Hi Hats are a tight bright hat with a clean chick and an easy cut. The stick sound is very present but never thin sounding. Slightly dark on the open sound they support the groove with a wide presence. The CONTACT series, known for a brighter stick presence and livelier response - like the BLISS series - is also completely handmade, hand hammered and shaped. Composed of B23 alloy they also feature a slightly deeper profile and disproportionately larger bell promoting crash power and sustain. CONTACTS's also feature a medium-thin edge - another crash-promoting design feature. The stick feel is very lively - the pitch higher but still rich and warm. Faster speaking and higher energy, these the CONTACT series also possess depth and complexity in the undertone and a shimmering wash that drives the sound forward and upward. You don't have to work hard on getting a sound. With CONTACT cymbals, you can simply spend time on expressing what you want to say.
