  • Here’s  a pair of damn-near-impossible-to-find Hihats! They’re Antique FACTORY STAMPED “DARK” Hihats.  And they’re in the quick and responsive 13” size. 

  • The only pair I have and the only pair I’ve ever seen. 

  • Hand Hammered Bopshorus Antique - Sultan Style 13” “Dark” Hihats in amazing condition! Only played for the video. 

  • These are simply stunning  - semi-dark and smooth with a slight hint of complexity - fairly light and airy with a broad spread. 

  • And being the 13s”, they are much more responsive, quick and articulate than larger 14s and 15s. 

  • Weighing in at a THIN 770 grams for the Top Cymbal and 920 grams for the Bottom Cymbal, these Dark 13s” play like Hand Hammered fairly smooth and Semi-DARK THIN to Medium Thin Hihats with a blend of light smoothness and complexity. The concentric lathed and unlathed rings provide multiple surfaces for different tones.

  • What's interesting about this particular pair of Sultans is that they are particularly LIGHT AND AIRY WITH A SMOOTHNESS. They are DARKER but still have a few shadows of brightness in there.

  • Light and airy, even, smooth, medium darkness, with a bit of hand hammered complexity and dryness! VERY airy with that old world Hand Hammered complexity. 

  • High and lows present. 

  • Perfect for low to medium loud volumes. 

  • Amazing shape. No issues. Only demoed and that’s it. Hard to find!  The only pair I’ve seen.
