Don’t pay $830 for a stock photo guess and what your hihats sound like! 

WHY THAT LIFE SUCKS!! Have a listen to this exact pair so you can buy with confidence.

Perfect condition nearly 2 decade old EARLIER Paiste Dark Energy 14” Hihats.
The metal has had nearly 20 years to age and mellow out, and that it has. Warmer and more mellow than today’s Dark Energies.

At 932 and 1340 grams, these 14” Mark 1 Hihats combine the dark, low pitched organic feel of the Dark Energy Series with Paiste’s fastidiously clean and crystalline tone that is so studio and user friendly.

It’s pretty remarkable because dark and crisp with a great chick tone and CLEAN is not always the easiest combination to find.  But Paiste did it here.

Some of the darkest, cleanest sounding Hihats Paiste made.  And some of the hardest to actually find in stock where you can hear them.

Tight at a whisper. Very focused, but can roar when opened. They have no problem cutting. It’s a perfect blend of great response with projection.
As Paiste promises, they are versatile, you can use them for absolutely anything.

And no where near $830 for a guess at tone!
