The Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 14″ Hi-Hat Cymbals are designed for drummers who want dark, vintage-inspired tone with exceptional sensitivity and control. Their paper-thin construction gives them a soft, responsive feel, while the 14″ size provides a classic hi-hat balance of definition, warmth and musical versatility. Each cymbal in the 30th Anniversary Series begins with a hand-formed bell, followed by deep, comprehensive hammering and a unique pre-aging process. The result is a pair of hi-hats with a low fundamental tone, woody stick response, quick decay and a trashy yet controlled wash when played open. Perfect for jazz, blues, fusion, acoustic music, recording sessions and lower-volume performance, the 14″ 30th Anniversary Hi-Hats bring a refined, organic character to any drum setup. Whether played tightly closed, slightly open or with delicate foot control, they deliver the unmistakable warmth and craftsmanship of Istanbul Agop.
