Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Artisan Hat Bottom as a standalone cymbal?
No. The Artisan Hat Bottom is designed as part of a hi-hat pair and requires a matching top cymbal to function properly. It is not a standalone instrument.
Which is better for jazz?
Both suit jazz, but differently. The HHX OMNI 19-inch ride offers bell articulation for comping and a wash for texture. The Artisan Hat Bottom is a hi-hat component that delivers dark, dry stick definition when paired with its matching top.
What's the key difference in tone between these?
The HHX OMNI balances articulate bell definition with shimmering, responsive wash across a 19-inch surface. The Artisan Hat Bottom emphasizes dark, dry articulation with minimal wash on a smaller 15-inch diameter.
Are both suitable for professional use?
Yes. Both are B20 bronze, professional-grade cymbals rated for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The HHX OMNI is a complete ride; the Artisan Hat Bottom is a component requiring its matching top.
