    Tech Tip Tuesday: ‪@ZildjianCompany‬ A Series 14" New Beats VS. ‪@ZildjianCompany‬ 16” K Series Sweet hi-hat pair
    .
    .
    .
    As you all know I love comparing new gear to gear that I have played for a long time so this comparison is very exciting.
    For starters, the first set of hi-hats are my 14" A Series New Beat hi-hat (light top/heavy bottom). The second pair of hi-hats are my new 16” Zildjian K Sweet hats (1262 top /2027g bottom).
    Along with their difference in sizes these two cymbals also contrast in their difference in sound as well.
    The 14" New Beats, as you all know, has a very clean and crispy sound that cuts extremely well and produces a balanced crispy high end wash when you open them up. Meanwhile, the 16” Zildjian K sweet hats do cut but slightly less than the 14”, has a nice crisp and balanced wash but the tone was just a little fuller and a beefier than the New Beats.
    In this case I was again surprised with the 16” hats and how well they cut yet still not as much as the classic 14” New Beats. In addition to that, this reminded me how much I love these classic 14” New Beat hi-hats.
    In the end, both are such great options to have for different musical situations.
    What do you guys think? Which set of hi-hats do you prefer? Leave a comment and let me know!
    Enjoy the demo and have a wonderful day! 🥁🤓❤️💪🏻
