Matt Garstka’s signature Equilibrium ride features a piercing bell that works in aggressive music, a nice stick attack with pleasing overtones for jazz-like patterns that are common in progressive music, and a crash-ability that doesn’t interfere with the former two attributes. "We didn't rush anything and I feel very good about that," says Matt. "We came up with something that has a great spread to it. This is in full balance. It has the full range of expression that I was looking for in a ride."

These hihats are expressive through their varying profile with thin edges and a thicker, unlathed bell. Their medium thin weight in the bow allows them to be very versatile and live up to their Polyphonic name. When closed, these hihats deliver tight grooves with just the right balance of attack and air underneath. When you need power, open them up to hear the unlathed bell add a dark roar to the wash. The bell also provides the foundation for a solid chick with your foot.
