These Sabian 14" Big and Ugly XSR Monarch Hi Hats combine a thin top cymbal over a medium-thin bottom, made to be crisp and tasty with a woody stick sound. They sound like the should cost a whole lot more, crafted with technology that they use to create Evolution and X-Plosion cymbals.
Big and Ugly cymbals look just like the kinds of plates you'd find at the back of a pawn shop - they're unapologetically unpretty in looks, but they tend to be pretty dark and complex in timbre.
