- I checked with the great Agop in the sky and there were not many of these made in this size. And this is definitely an earlier pair.
- Istanbul Agop Sultan Hi Hats in the THIRTEEN Inch Size!
- This is THE company that ushered in the old world craftsmanship - the kind of artistry that fomented a movement of boutique cymbalsmiths. They created the first concentric ringed Sultan Hi Hats that originally turned heads.
- Istanbul’s old-world Zildjian Istanbul K-styled handiwork attracted the ears and signatures of jazz greats Mel Lewis and Elvin Jones.
- What's great about these specific Earlier AGOP Sultans is that they posses a very crisp and tight focused attack when closed, but in there is a hint of Hand Hammered complexity. You hear that Old World airiness that turned heads decades ago. Open them up and you get a wonderful Hand Hammered sibilance and light complexity. Fantastic chick when played with your foot.
- 788 and 902 grams. Crisp and cutting but definitely mellowed after the last 15 years.
- Fairly DRY and focused stick attack, compliments of the raw, unlathed rings. Subtle Turkish wash that breathes life into a pattern but still remains controlled.
- Responsive with a broad dynamic range.
- Perfect for soft to loud and for anytime you want to play something with soul.
- Fantastic shape. An amazing set of hard to find hi hats that will continued to age beautifully!
