Meinl Classics Custom Extreme Metal 14" Hi-Hats (Pair)

Meinl's Classics Custom Extreme Metal hi-hats deliver aggressive, cutting tone designed for metal and hard rock drummers who need projection and definition. Built from B12 bronze alloy and manufactured using high-tech computerised processes, these 14-inch pairs produce a strong, energetic open sound with a sharp, piercing chick that cuts through dense arrangements and loud band mixes.

The Extreme Metal profile emphasises brightness and bite across the frequency spectrum, engineered to handle high-velocity playing without losing articulation. B12 bronze offers superior durability and tonal clarity compared to softer alloys, while the computerised production ensures consistency across each cymbal's profile. The result is a loud, powerful hi-hat setup that remains defined even in the most aggressive playing contexts.

These hats suit drummers working in metal subgenres, punk, and any style demanding penetrating presence in a full kit. The strong fundamental and cutting edge make them equally effective for studio recording, where definition and separation matter, and live performance, where projection through a loud stage mix is essential.
