The Fat Hats are the very definition of «labor of love», a product of over a decade of work and testing by our R&D team to curate a rich, blended «go-to» hihat sound that performs in the studio, and turns heads on-stage.
The key is a combination of darker hammering with wider, A Zildjian-style lathing, and a smaller weight difference blurring true top and bottom. Designed to be a cymbal bag chameleon, these «part K, part A» hats sit within any cymbal setup, and are ripe for mixing and matching or simply playing them as is – a perfect blend of warm and bright. Play the 14-1/8″ for fantastic stick, or move up to the 15-1/8″ for an incredibly lush sound and pronounced chick – Both unique sizes bring something special to any gig.
The secret is out, and the road-tested, artist-approved Fat Hats are now ready to transform your kit.
