Frequently Asked Questions

The Avedis are generally brighter and more cutting; the K Sweet hats offer a warmer, more complex, and slightly more controlled response.
They record beautifully – the warmth is a huge asset, though you might need to EQ slightly depending on the track's overall tone.
Each hat has a unique hand-lathing pattern, leading to subtle tonal differences – this adds to their character and avoids a completely uniform sound.
