Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Masters series was born from a very focused approach: assembling and refining high-end ride cymbals, patiently handcrafted in CuSn20 bronze, to achieve high sonic ideals across many styles. This approach, initially centered on a selection of rides, was later expanded in 2014 with the addition of crashes and hi-hats to extend this unique sonic atmosphere to more complete setups. The Masters thus position themselves as a family of cymbals with a strong character, relying on decades of expertise and inspiration from renowned international drummers.
Who This Hi-Hat Is For
This Masters hi-hat is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert drummers seeking an expressive cymbal capable of conveying playing nuances without aggressiveness. Its balance at medium volume makes it particularly relevant in modern jazz, funk, neo-soul, organic pop, blues, or acoustic music contexts, as well as in the studio where the precision of the "chick" and the texture of the "wash" must remain controlled. For drummers with a light to medium touch, it offers a wide dynamic range, while more powerful players will appreciate its ability to stay musical without saturating the sound space.
