Pad Review - Hart eCymbal II High Hats

2002-06-02 by wgardus

Hi all,

 I'd like to report on how I like the Hart eCymbal II HH's I recently 
picked up. Hum - what words would express it right - I love them! They 
fired right up without a lot of tweaking to my V2 module, and are 
tracking perfectly - and they feel great to play. As far as noise, the 
rubber pad they have makes about the same noise as a TP80S, with just 
a tad more of a hollow sound to them.

For those of you who have never seen them, they have a 14" metal  
cymbal with a rubber pad covering about 1/4 of its surface as the top 
hat. Underneath that is a slightly smaller plastic cymbal as the lower 
hat. Hart also has a special stand to mount them on which allows you 
to adjust how tight or loose you have the two cymbals clamped 
together, which I would recommend as well. 

Expensive, yes, but in my view they are worth it.

Walt
