Title: Ziljdian Hi Hats Post by: Ddub on March 07, 2008, 11:09 AM What is the big difference between the K Mastersound hi hats and the K Dark hi hats? Anyone try them side by side before and what's your opinion?
Thanks, Title: Re: Ziljdian Hi Hats Post by: Chris Whitten on March 07, 2008, 04:12 PM I think the K Dark hi-hats are less bright.
But Zildjian cymbals tend to vary a lot, so if you are in the market for either model you should go out and try a few pairs back to back.

Title: Re: Ziljdian Hi Hats Post by: cavanman on March 07, 2008, 09:22 PM I own the K Mastersounds in 13" size.
One thing that sets them apart is the ridged (wavy) bottom cymbal. I bought them specifically because I wanted a very pronounced foot chick, free of any chance of airlock. The waviness is not as wide or pronounced as Paiste Sound Edge hats i.e. not as loud either. They've performed as expected. I do wish sometimes that they were just a tad more subtle but I'm glad they have presence when I need it. Guess I'll just have to buy more hats. ;D The K Mastersounds are as Chris mentioned, brighter than the usual K Zildjian hi-hat. To me they sound like the middle ground between regular 'A' and 'K' cymbals.

The others are much brighter if you are into that with the music you play. I've used the K Custom Darks in many different situation and so far have had no problems.
