A hi hat with a bright, smooth tone, a defined, precise chick and good volume.

Historic line of B8 bronze alloy cymbals, created in 1967 and discontinued in 1971 with the launch of the everlasting 2002. Reintroduced in the catalog by Paiste in 2005 with a few but appropriate models and sizes. A great sound that takes you back to the roots of Rock.
