Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary Hi Hat Cymbals 14"

Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 14" Hi-Hat Cymbals

The Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 14" Hi-Hat Cymbals deliver a beautifully dark, warm and complex hi-hat sound inspired by the rich heritage of traditional Turkish cymbal making. Handmade in Turkey, the 30th Anniversary Series is designed for drummers seeking an organic, expressive response with exceptional depth and character.

The classic 14" diameter provides a versatile balance of articulation, warmth and dynamic control. Played closed, these hi-hats produce a defined yet organic stick sound with plenty of subtle complexity underneath. Open them up and they develop into a rich, textured wash with a darker, more sophisticated character than conventional bright hi-hats.

Their highly responsive nature allows subtle changes in stick and foot pressure to shape the sound, making them particularly expressive for detailed hi-hat work. From delicate patterns and foot chicks through to loose, washy grooves, the 30th Anniversary Hi-Hats respond naturally to the player's touch.

Extensive hand hammering, traditional construction and the distinctive aged appearance give each pair an individual character both visually and sonically. The result is a premium pair of hi-hats with the warmth, complexity and musicality associated with traditional Turkish cymbals.
