  • Here’s a gorgeous pair of Istanbuls with a Raw bell on  and unique, serrated style factory brushed finish on the top cymbal and a fully lathed bottom cymbal. And that creates the perfect combo of TIGHT and CRISP with a pinch of organic complexity. Both high and lows present.

  • Take a look at the craftsmanship on these harder to find hihats.  It’s gorgeous!  

  • Istanbul Mehmet Horacio EL Negro Hernandez Hihats in IMMACULATE condition! Perfect! Played for the video and that is all. 

  • For those who don't know, Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez has played with myriad artists from Dizzy Gillespie to Santana! 

  • Here's Istanbul’s take on these beauties:
    "Designed for Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez, the El Negro series by Istanbul Mehmet has a sound and appearance as unique as Horacio's playing. Hand crafted in Istanbul, Turkey. Specially brushed finish with raw bell."

  • Weighing in at a lovely New Beat philosophy 1064 and 1270 grams, these Mehmet El Negro play like crisp and articulate CLEAN sounding hihats with a pinch of Hand Hammered complexity thrown in.

  • This particular pair is wonderfully well-balanced. The stick definition is prominent and a touch dry, compliments of the brushed finish and they remain bright and warm and cut beautifully without clanking. 

  • Extremely well balanced. Lightly complex without being overly trashy. 

  • Quick response with both your hand and foot. Very articulate. 

  • You can use this harder to find Istanbul 14” Hihats for absolutely anything.  Perfect for very soft to medium loud settings.
