These A-Series New Beat hi-hats are seriously versatile and sound fantastic. The 15-inch size gives them a unique, controlled feel and a lovely shimmer when you open them up – perfect for players looking for a more refined, articulate sound without sacrificing responsiveness. They’d be killer for jazz, funk, or anyone wanting a cleaner, more modern hi-hat tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

The New Beat offers a more focused and defined sound compared to the broader, more complex A Custom, with a quicker response and a slightly brighter character.
While the thinner profile offers a great sound, gigging drummers should be mindful of playing intensity to avoid premature wear and tear.
Medium to hard felt tips will best showcase the New Beat’s clarity and definition; avoid overly soft tips which may dampen the sound.
