K Family
Fat Hats were born out of an inspiration to combine bright and dark manufacturing techniques for a truly blended sound made for any stage or session.
SKU: K1432
DETAILS
The Fat Hats are the very definition of "labor of love". A decade of testing has created this rich, blended "go-to" hihat sound that performs in the studio and turns heads on-stage.
The key is a combination of darker hammering with wider, A Zildjian-style lathing, and a smaller weight difference blurring true top and bottom. Designed to be a cymbal bag chameleon, these "part K, part A" hats sit within any cymbal setup, and are ripe for mixing and matching or simply playing them as is - a perfect blend of warm and bright. Play the 14-1/8" for fantastic stick, or move up to the 15-1/8" for an incredibly lush sound and pronounced chick - Both unique sizes bring something special to any gig.
The secret is out, and the road-tested, artist-approved Fat Hats are ready to transform your kit.

"These shitz slap"
"The 14" Fat Hats sound amazing, they cut through with a rich wide tone. Whether its just closing the hats, playing on the edge, top, or bell the sound full and rounded with a fast decay. It matches really well with the other K's I bought - 16" K Custom Session Crash and a 17" K Sweet Crash. I will be looking to order a K Ride this week to balance out the set."
"All it took was one stick hit and GAME OVER!!! Not only did these K Fat Hats speak immediately they blended & put the balance of the rest of the cymbals & drums too on another level!! It actually made choosing your other cymbals to match & compliment these hats. Words are no enough, play them & tell a friend to take a picture of your expression! Oh Zidjian please make a 15in & 13in size too!!!"
"Used for playing an array of music. The hats are a great choice for playing so many songs and sounds."
