The WHD practice 14" hi-hat cymbals are a perfect solution to drummers that need near silent practice conditions, but still maintain the same feeling of a high quality cymbal. The cymbals get their reduced noise properties from the drilled holes, giving less resonance than a standard cymbal, but with all the robustness and feel. In a contemporary nickel finish, these cymbals will allow you to play longer in to the night without upsetting the neighbors.
