Is the UFIP Bionic Series 13" Hi Hat worth the extra money over a cheaper 13-inch option?

Answered by Roadie

Only if its sound and feel suit you better: the UFIP Bionic Series 13" Hi Hat is listed at £358 new, versus £109 for the Meinl HCS 13 Hi Hat Cymbals. Matching diameter alone doesn’t make them equivalent.

The UFIP costs £249 more than the Meinl HCS at the supplied best new prices. That’s a substantial step up in spending, but price alone won’t tell you which pair works better with your playing.
