For a good all-around hi-hat it's tough to beat a New Beat, though the Quick Beats have a nicer 'chick' sound. I always liked the sound of the Paiste Sound Edge hi-hats that Terry Bozzio used when he was with Frank Zappa--the ones with the wavy-edged bottom hat. The Zildjian Mastersound (which also have the wavy bottom) are nice-sounding too.
