The Dream Dark Matter Series Hi-hats 14'' are a pair of aggressive sounding hi-hats that go through Dream's unique Dark Matter creation process, producing the the dark, raw image. The overall sound is meaty and dry with a metallic edge. This is a result of the un-lathed bottom side and double tempered top side. The cymbals are then left for several months to mature into the finished product. The Dark Matter hi-hats are able to cut through sound and produce a wide range of tones with each stroke. This makes them suitable in various settings, whether recording, gigging or just practicing.
