The A Series Zildjian is the world's most popular and versatile cymbal. Created from cast bronze alloy of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver, it is symmetrically machine hammered and lathed with a traditional wide groove. The result is an exuberant cymbal that bursts with a classic voice that is pure, bright, and expressive. The Quick Beats have an especially fast response with 4 holes in the bottom that allow quick air release.

the only serious choice

Comments about Zildjian A Series Quick Beat Hi-Hat Pair:
I got a pair of quickbeats in 1993 when I first started playing drums as a hand me down from an older drummer friend. I STILL have these hats! These are the only hats I have ever owned. I recently wanted to get a second pair of hi-hats so I could use these on a practice kit. I tried EVERY pair in several different stores and I ended up buying these again. These are what hi-hats should sound like! I did not like how other hi-hats with conventional bottom cymbals are less solid feeling, some even have a pitch bend if you press down on the pedal hard enough. I have used these for pretty much any style you can think of from jazz to hardcore. I now own two pairs!

Timeless classic
By John
from New England
Comments about Zildjian A Series Quick Beat Hi-Hat Pair:
I've owned the Quick Beats for years now- these hats are by far the best out there. Versatile; they sound great live & in the studio. The flat, thick bottom cymbal with the vent holes make for a nice 'chip' while keeping time with the ride. The sonic qualities are really evident with jazz, reggae & ska playing, but they're versatile enough for rock & blues as well. If you're looking for hi hats that'll draw attention to your playing, these're for you- accept no substitutes...

there is simply nothing better.
By Justin G.
from Charleston, SC
Comments about Zildjian A Series Quick Beat Hi-Hat Pair:
I am a devout Sabian player...i even named my son sabian. However, no matter where i look or what i try i simply can not find a hihat that sounds even AS GOOD as this. I have been playing for close to 15yrs and have been playing the quick beats for 4-5 years. They have astounding clarity, a cut and blend quality that is unparalleled by any other hihat on the market. they cut but they don't go over the top, they blend but they don't get lost in the chaos. This pair of hats is and investment. I am a cymbal DESTROYER and they've lasted 5 years. You are only doing yourself a favor by purchasing these.

wow!!!!!
By CB drummer 13
from Middletown, CT
Comments about Zildjian A Series Quick Beat Hi-Hat Pair:
I do not own a pair of Zildjian Quick Beat high hats, but I wish I did! I play on them in a band and love them. The holes in the bottom hat let air and sound out to create perfect sound both opened, and closed. These are the best Zildjians out there!!
