- This is one of my favorite newer cymbal series. They’re incredible.
- These Black Sea Hats are like a slightly smoother, more refined TURK. And they’re stunning looking - black and gold with crimson emblem.
- Not an easy cymbal to come by either. And you can listen to this exact pair too! No guessing!
- Imagine the elusive Paiste Dark Energy Dark Dry Ride - but in Hihats.
- Tempestuous, RAW, unlathed, heavily Hand Hammered earthen black/gold/appearance, newer series, Istanbul Mehmet 14” Black Sea Hihats that are immaculate.
- Circular hand-hammering throughout. Antique look and Old World tone - these particular beauties sound like a Dry Istanbul Ks from the 1940s.
- 1030 & 1246 grams make them medium thin and very responsive, the heavier bottom hat and unlathed raw surface supply plenty of CHICK and articulation, both with a stick and when played with your foot.
- The attack is dry and the ensuing wash is dark, smoky, very organic with a bit more cleaner tone than a Turk Ride or Sultan.
- And they’re quicker too - the dryness gives them a short decay.
- Almost seems to have an ounce of Paiste in it, but to be honest, Paiste wishes they could be this organic!
- One of the nicer dark, DRY, dark organic Hihats around - no issues. Immaculate condition although it looks like it just came back from Poseidon’s basement, which I love.
- Hard to find. Incredible hats that make a statement both visually and sonically.
