Mom's Choice Turkish 13" Jarrod Cagwin Signature Snake Hats Hi-hat Cymbals - 676/798g - Going Fast [zBtZIH3k]

A pre-owned pair of unique and delightful hi-hats that are a bit addictive to play. In great condition with light stick marks and prints.

"The unique feature of these cymbals is a specially fitted rivet arrangement designed to create a controlled "rattle" sound on the instrument. These cymbals are as well extremely dry in character, similar to Atacama line, also with unhammered bells producing minimal overtones. The lightweight hi-hat collection of 12", 13", and 14" are balanced in a way that they can also function as splash/crash cymbals. The rivets are placed with four on the top cymbal, grouped in two and placed opposite of each other, and on the bottom cymbal two rivets are inserted on the inside of the cymbal producing vibration. The 21" Ride has eight varied rivets placed equally around the edge of the cymbal. The rivets are designed for controlled vibration. They have limited sustain allowing for more control particularly at low dynamic levels. The combination of the open hi-hats together with the ride cymbal creates a surround sound sizzle/rattle effect which can be easily obtained with only the slightest touch.

Turkish Cymbals, Hand Cast, Hand Hammered, Hand Lathed. Peculiar hiss-tone that is high, sharp & piercing. Excellent for short, punctuated accents with an exotic atmosphere. For centuries, cymbals have been made in artisan workshops in Istanbul, Turkey, the acknowleged home of quality cymbal making. Cymbal alloys (most notably B20 alloys) have secret recipes passed through generations and each Turkish Cymbal is hand cast, rolled whilst hot, hammered by skilled artisans and tested to give the unique sound the Turkish Cymbals have, before being finished on a lathe. Only by hand making can the cymbal be worthy of a top-flight drummer. Each cymbal has its own individual overtones and "DNA", whilst being broadly similar to its brothers. Your sound is unique with Turkish Cymbals. Probably the finest cymbals on the planet."
