The Istanbul Agop Joey Waronker Signature 14" Hi-Hat Cymbals are designed in collaboration with acclaimed drummer Joey Waronker, delivering a distinctive combination of warmth, articulation and complex musical character. Handmade in Turkey, these signature hi-hats offer an expressive response designed for players who value nuance, dynamics and an organic cymbal sound.
The classic 14" diameter provides a versatile balance of definition and body. Played closed, the Joey Waronker Hi-Hats deliver a clear, articulate stick response with plenty of tonal character underneath. Open them up and the sound expands into a rich, textured wash that responds naturally to changes in playing dynamics.
Their expressive response makes them particularly well suited to players who move between tightly controlled patterns, loose grooves and more open, textural hi-hat sounds. Subtle changes in stick attack and foot pressure reveal different tonal colours, making them a versatile option for both live performance and recording.
As with Istanbul Agop's traditionally crafted cymbals, the emphasis is on musical complexity rather than an overly bright or clinical sound. The result is a pair of signature hi-hats with plenty of personality and a responsive feel that rewards expressive playing.

The Istanbul Agop Joey Waronker Signature 14" Hi-Hats are an excellent choice for drummers looking for a versatile pair of hats with an organic, expressive voice. Their classic 14" size provides the articulation needed for detailed patterns while retaining enough warmth and complexity for looser, more textural playing.
Designed with one of the most respected and versatile contemporary drummers, these signature hi-hats are particularly appealing to players who want a musical cymbal that responds naturally to their touch rather than simply producing a fixed, uniform sound.
As traditionally handmade cymbals, individual Istanbul Agop cymbals can vary slightly in weight, appearance and tonal character. Want to hear this exact pair before ordering? Contact the Into Music team and we'll be happy to provide a sound file where available.
