This pair of 15" Istanbul Agop Signature Hi Hat Cymbals are very thin and bone dry with a dark, crisp sound and mysterious wash. The foot chick is well defined for such thin hats. These might be THE ideal jazz hats! Check out the full line of Istanbul cymbals, including high quality audio samples online at Drum Center of Portsmouth!
Operating in its current incarnation since 2004 after creating a headquarters in the United States, Istanbul Agop is one of the cymbal industry's leaders in crafting traditional Turksih cymbals. The company was founded by and named after Agop Tomurcuk, who spent decades in Turkey's sole cymbal foundry learning the craft before creating his own company.
Designed after Agop's death to the specifications of a notebook he kept for years, the Signature series is a distillation of decades in cymbal-making down to Agop's favorite qualities. The cymbals feature raw lathing and a green logo stamping because it was the founder's favorite color.
The hats are matched in weight with an immediate stick response and staccato "chick" character.
This price reflects the pair of hats.
Years of production: 2008-present
Tonal profile: dark, trashy, atmospheric
Notable features: green logo stamping
