These Complex Medium Hi-Hats are a serious upgrade for players seeking a sophisticated, dark, and articulate sound. The combination of HH and HHX hammering delivers a unique response – they’re ideal for jazz, funk, and modern styles where nuanced dynamics and a darker tone are key. They’re not a beginner’s hat, but in the right hands, they really shine.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Complex series adds significantly more hammering and a different profile, resulting in a darker, more complex sound with more pronounced overtones compared to the standard HH Mediums.
While versatile, the darker tone might lack the brightness some rock drummers prefer; they work best when a darker, more nuanced sound is desired, or layered with brighter cymbals.
Due to the complexity and sensitivity, using a nylon tip or a lighter wood tip stick will help control the overtones and allow for more precise control.
