PERFECT VERY THIN ISTANBUL AGOP EPOCH 14” Hihats 781 954 g Lenny White! Sound Amazing

You don’t see many of these outside a stock photo.

Drop n ship. But this pair you can actually hear!  And they’re THIN - the THINNEST Epoch Hihats I’ve seen. Sound incredible.

And they indeed have a dry complexity to them - very vintage sounding but with more bite! Perfect threading the needle of Old World and modern.

Amazing condition Istanbul AGOP EPOCH Lenny White Signature 14” Hihats. Beautifully hand-hammered craftsmanship on these  14s”.

Raw bell leading into a very heavily hand-hammered plain - they look to be the cousin of the Agop SE Jazz series, but they’re a pinch more complex with a better attack.

ONLY 781 and 954 grams gives these beauties a VERY Thin constitution.  They offer a terrific focused CHICK and have a tight, controlled attack when played with a stick.  Opened them up for a burst of complexity - but there’s still that inimitable AGOP dryness in there.

It’s that classic AGOP dry, organic mixture with that famous Istanbul complexity that turned the cymbal world on its head.

Being the Lenny White Signature Hihats, the attack is strong and it projects quite well - especially for an AGOP. And that makes sense because Lenny does indeed play amplified music.
Open they respond quickly - cutting attack without clanking.

Terrific all-around semi-dry complex Hihats with a tight attack followed by a light complexity that decays quickly.
Just like Lenny White - great in low to loud settings.

Perfect shape.  No issues.  Harder to actually find in the flesh where you don’t have to guess at a stock photo.
