- Sure you can pay $720 for Zildjian K Light Hats that play like ROCK HATS next to these golden, glowing, Hand Hammered 16” Hihats!
- And you don’t throw darts at a google stock photo and guess at tone! Have a listen to this EXACT pair!
- Hard to find, ultra WARM, huge Istanbul Mehmet 16” Traditional Hihats in amazing condition.
- More complex and airy sounding than the Zildjians. Guaranteed! That’s the Hand Hammering talking.
- And dig that craftsmanship on these 16s” - stunning! Rippled hand hammered wavy plain.
- Weighing in at a perfect 1156 grams for the Top Cymbal, and 1411 grams for the Bottom Cymbal, these 16's play like Thin Light or Medium Thin Hihats. They’re factory Mediums but they play a bit thinner than that and are thinner than most Zildjian Light Hats.
- Of course these Traditional Hats possess all of the classic WARM, semi-complex tone you would expect from Istanbul Agops Top of the Line Hand Hammered Series. These specific 16"s are well balanced. Being the larger 16"s, they excel at laying down BIG grooves and project well WITHOUT being heavy handed or overbearing.
- And they're wonderfully LOWER PITCHED and have a terrific DARKNESS.
- Very warm, part complex and part smooth, DARK and lower pitched, and at these gram weights this particular pair is wonderfully RESPONSIVE.
- Tight and crisp when closed. Washy and Ringo-sloshy when opened. Great for very low to medium loud volumes. Amazing under the mic.
- Open them up fully and you use them to crash or even light ride on.
- You hardly ever see these beautiful 16s. Especially not where you can hear them first instead of guessing.
- Amazing condition. No issues. Golden hue! A lot of fun to play.
