The Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 15" Hi Hat Cymbals are handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and offer a rich, warm and deeply expressive sound inspired by the legendary Turkish cymbals of the 1950s and 1960s. Created to celebrate Istanbul Agop's 30th anniversary, these hi-hats combine traditional manufacturing techniques with extensive hand hammering to produce exceptional tonal complexity and a truly vintage musical character.

The larger 15" diameter delivers a lower-pitched, fuller voice than traditional 14" hi-hats, producing a broad, buttery wash when played open while maintaining a crisp, articulate chick when closed. Their thinner profile allows them to respond effortlessly to subtle dynamics, creating a soft, smoky sound with outstanding sensitivity and musicality. Every pair is individually handcrafted, ensuring a unique tonal character that rewards expressive playing and a lighter touch.

Perfect for jazz, blues, acoustic music, folk, singer-songwriter performances and studio recording, the 30th Anniversary 15" Hi Hat Cymbals are an outstanding choice for drummers seeking an authentic vintage-inspired Turkish sound. Their combination of warmth, dynamic control and handcrafted craftsmanship makes them one of the most expressive hi-hats in the Istanbul Agop range.
