Description

These 14″ 30th Anniversary Hi-Hats combine traditional craftsmanship with a modern, expressive voice. Their papery-thin profile allows them to respond instantly to the lightest touch, producing a fast, trashy attack that quickly decays into a controlled, musical wash. The slightly larger diameter adds body and warmth compared to smaller sizes, making them equally suited to intricate stick work and expressive open sounds.

Highly responsive with effortless articulation
Fast decay for clean, defined phrasing
Dry, textured chick sound with characterful sizzle
Dynamic, expressive response across all playing styles

Built to Perform:

Handcrafted from premium B20 bronze
Each cymbal is individually hammered and shaped
Deep hammering enhances tonal depth and complexity
Pre-aged finish delivers instant maturity and control
Designed for professional studio and live performance

Ideal For:

Players who value fast response and controlled textures
Jazz, fusion, experimental and modern styles
Collectors of limited-edition Turkish cymbals
