Paiste informs us on a brand new signature cymbal the company has produced. The idea in creating the 14\" New Signature Light Dark Hats Mark I was derived from the necessity to combine purity and dynamics in a Hi-Hat cymbal.

Many of the endorsing artists and staff have experienced the harsh hi-hat sounds at a gig, sounds that overpower the entire band which prevent the drummer from driving the band to a comfortable level. Also, Paiste knows a hi-hat sound can easily bleed into the tom or overhead mics creating an imbalance to the mix of the music being heard from the audience.
Good reasons to develop a hi-hat that should resolve these particular issues: the 14\" New Signature Light Dark Hats Mark I. It is a very sensitive hi-hat with a dark edge and a light touch, they contain a foamy crispness and a mighty chick. With a soft and buttery feel upon the touch of a drumstick, the Light Dark Hats are not too loud and are gentle.
According to Paiste they are perfectly suited for Jazz, Blues, Swing, Country, acoustic, Soul, Funk, Latin or Big band applications in live settings but recording sessions as well.
