The Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 15" Hi-Hat Cymbals deliver a beautifully dark, warm and complex sound with the organic character associated with traditional Turkish cymbal making. Handmade in Turkey, the 30th Anniversary Series celebrates Istanbul Agop's cymbal-making heritage with exceptional dynamic sensitivity, rich overtones and an unmistakably handcrafted feel.
The larger 15" diameter gives these hi-hats a deeper, fuller voice than traditional 14" models. Played closed, they produce a defined yet warm stick response with plenty of subtle complexity underneath. Open them up and they develop into a broad, textured wash with a rich, dark character.
Their larger size also provides a slightly softer and more relaxed feel, making them particularly expressive for players who enjoy incorporating different degrees of openness into their hi-hat work. From delicate foot chicks and subtle patterns through to loose, washy grooves, the 30th Anniversary 15" Hi-Hats respond naturally to changes in touch and dynamics.
Extensive hand hammering, traditional construction and the distinctive aged appearance give each pair its own individual visual and sonic character. The result is a premium pair of hi-hats that prioritise warmth, texture and musical expression over an overly bright or clinical sound.
