Anatolian Ultimate 14" Hell Hihat

This 14" hi-hat from Anatolian's Ultimate Hell series is a powerful, well-defined hi-hat with plenty of volume, real clarity and a bright, warm tone.

The top cymbal weighs 1104 grams, the bottom cymbal 1494 grams.

The Ultimate Hell series is built on the original Ultimate series, but comes with its own graphic look and name. Tonally it's still the same series – one built around definition, punch and plenty of energy.

With this kind of weight, this is a hi-hat that has no trouble delivering serious volume. That makes it especially interesting for rock and metal, where the hi-hat needs to cut through a dense mix, but it works just as well for other genres if you prefer a clear, solid hi-hat sound.

The extra weight also means you won't get quite the same crash effect when opening the hi-hat as you would on thinner models. In return, you get a more focused, well-defined sound with plenty of articulation.

The tone sits towards the brighter end of the scale with a lovely clarity, without losing its warmth. The result is a hi-hat that feels powerful, solid and musical all at once.

If you're after a hi-hat with plenty of volume, clear definition and a bright, warm tone, this Ultimate Hell is a very good choice.
