    I was in need of a top hat after a drummer in the studio took a chunk out of it. The bottom half was unaffected, so I needed a replacement top. So far so good.

    Way back in 1982, I bought two of what were considered to be the finest cymbals in the world...the A Zildjian Medium ride and the 14" New Beat Hi hats. I still have and use them both today, and my New Beat Hi Hats are sensitive enough for light jazz, but, on the other end of the spectrum, loud and powerful enough for hard rock and heavy metal, and their durability is also impressive because with Marshalls and Ampegs on either side of me, I hit them...HARD!! And they're up to the task!! The world's finest cymbals are still...ZILDJIAN!!

    I've had the 14" New Beats for a long time and decided to get these for a new sound since they have been the preference of a number of great drummers, past and present. I feel like the 14" one's have a little more mellow tone and variety in their click and are easier to make washy with a nice chick while the 13" ones have a very strong click, a very focused chick and less in regard to washy tones unless you really know how to get them out of them. They're definitely like learning a new instrument entirely but great for a no frills pleasantly cutting metronomic sound that can still create the washier sounds while being more refined. Definitely the choice if you'd like to make a more electronic drum sound from your hats because of their more consistent click even if you don't hit in the exact same spot all the time since the timbre of the 14" version seems to change more if your hits aren't as exact as you'd like.

    I have the S-series 14" high hats and the top is starting to crack. Can I buy the A-series New Beat 14 " top and use it with the old bottom piece or should I buy the set?
