Frequently Asked Questions

The Heavy version has a more focused, defined sound and greater pedal response due to its increased weight, whereas the Mediums offer a slightly more open, splashy character.
While capable, their assertive nature and heavier weight might not be ideal for ultra-quiet jazz; lighter hi-hats are generally preferred for those applications.
Medium to heavy sticks, especially those with a nylon tip, will bring out the best in the 602 Heavy's defined sound and prevent excessive ringing.
