- Sure you can pay $640 for Zildjian K Light Hats that play like ROCK HATS next to these golden, glowing, Hand Hammered truly LIGHT 16” Hihats!
- These are the Light Hats we wished Zildjian made! No need to guess. Have a listen!
- Hard to find, ultra WARM, huge Istanbul Mehmet 16” Traditional Factory LIGHT Hihats in immaculate condition.
- Much smoother and more mellow than the Zildjians. Guaranteed!
- And dig the Hand Hammering on these 16s” - stunning!
- Weighing in at a perfect 1183 grams for the Top Cymbal, and 1430 grams for the Bottom Cymbal, these 16's play like Thin Light Hihats-imagine THAT!! They're aptly named.
- Of course these Light Hats possess all of the classic WARM, semi-complex tone you would expect from Istanbul Mehemt's 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 that is NOT overly trashy and complex! They're smooth!
- Very warm, exceptionally smooth, fairly 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 Lights. Especially not where you can hear them first.
- Immaculate condition. A lot of fun to play. Hundreds less than the Ks and much warmer and smoother.
