The Istanbul Agop Traditional 15” Medium Hi Hat Cymbals are now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Handcrafted in Istanbul from traditional B20 bronze alloy, these hi-hats are part of the core Traditional series, representing the foundation of Istanbul Agop’s cymbal making heritage. Both cymbals are fully lathed on the top and bottom surfaces with a classic traditional finish, and extensively hand hammered to produce a balanced, musical tonal profile. The medium weight pairing offers a versatile feel, with the 15" diameter providing increased low-end presence, broader spread and a slightly lower pitch compared to standard 14" models.

These hi-hats deliver a warm, full-bodied sound with clear stick definition sitting over a smooth, controlled wash. The response is balanced and articulate, offering enough cut for more contemporary playing while retaining the darker, musical character associated with traditional Turkish cymbals. The chick is solid and defined without being overly sharp, and when opened, they produce a broad, musical wash that remains controlled. These hi-hats are exceptionally versatile, suited to a wide range of styles from jazz and funk through to rock and studio applications.
