The Istanbul Agop Traditional Dark 15″ Hi-Hat Cymbals are designed for drummers who want a warmer, deeper and more controlled hi-hat sound. Their 15″ size gives them a fuller voice than standard 14″ hats, while the darker tonal character adds richness and body to grooves, accents and foot patterns. As the thinnest hi-hats in the Traditional Series, these cymbals respond quickly and naturally under the stick. The open sound is darker, lower pitched and controlled, while the closed sound is fatter, softer and highly musical. Fully lathed on both top and bottom, they produce the rich, warm overtones that define the Istanbul Agop Traditional line. Perfect for jazz, blues, soul, funk, fusion, acoustic music, studio recording and expressive live playing, the 15″ Traditional Dark Hi-Hats offer a refined balance of warmth, control and character. Whether played tightly closed, slightly open or with dynamic foot control, they bring classic handmade Turkish cymbal tone to any drum setup.
