14” a series new beat high hats

Got these off a recommendation from Kyle my engineer at sweetwater and glad I got them these have the sound and feel I was looking for. Some of the best hats I've had so far and will be a go to for me.
Rated 5/5

Great Cymbals, Fun To Play, Straight Sexy

This is my first pair of "real" hi-hats, an upgrade from a cheap-o starter set. Holy cow. They're WONDERFUL. Rather than a necessary evil to keep the rhythm, playing the hats has become a joy in and of itself. Use for a variety of styles and they keep up.
Now I know that if I can play it, the hi-hats can handle it. I play the way I want, the cymbals do the rest. Highly recommended.
Rated 5/5

Old New Beat

Great hat for anything! Bought my set 40yrs ago and have used them for country, rock, big band, smooth jazz, pretty much everything. You can't go wrong with these.
Music background: Formally trained, experience from drum corps to square dance.
Rated 5/5

Crisp and Clean.

I bought these because I picked up an 20 year old Catalina kit and the cymbals were pretty old and tarnished. The hi hats in particular sounded ok, but were a bit dark sounding. After doing a recording with my old hi hat vs these, I could clearly hear the difference. These hi hats project better, and have a nice crisp clarity and brightness that sound terrific. I needed that because for now, I only have a mic suspended over my kit, so it's important for the hi hat to come through....and it does. I wish all my cymbals were of the same series.
Rated 5/5

Great sounding cymbals

Thanks to the help of Sweetwater rep Skyler, he made the right recommendations for me. As a beginning drummer, my prior hi hats sounded too tinny... we discussed options and went with these, and I am very happy. They are solid, heavy and just the sound I wanted! The videos helped make up my mind too!
Music background: Beginning drummer in local band

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Andrew Malloy

The Zildjian A New Beat Hi Hats are a mainstay of rock and pop. They have been my first choice for recording and live performance as long as I have been playing.

Ask any drummer at Sweetwater, and chances are, we'll tell you that Zildjian represents the gold - or rather bronze - standard in cymbal making. Seriously, Avedis Zildjian may have been trying to make gold, but he did even better when he formulated what's arguably the best cymbal material on the planet. We've played virtually every type of Zildjian cymbal out there, and you won't find anyone at Sweetwater who wouldn't happily recommend their instruments to you, plus their sticks and other accessories are also pretty sweet. Whether you're grabbing your first S or ZBT pack or have saved up for the A or K series cymbals you've always wanted, Sweetwater is your source for all things Zildjian.
