Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Custom series embodies the spirit of artisanal Turkish cymbals, where every step of manufacturing aims to prioritize musicality: hand hammering, traditional shaping, and finishes that give character to each pair. Within the Agean range, this 14" Hi Hat Jazz is positioned as a balanced and highly usable hi-hat, capable of meeting the needs of jazz playing while remaining relevant for more modern contexts thanks to its versatility.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This hi-hat is intended for intermediate to advanced drummers seeking a responsive instrument rich in nuances and with enough definition to work on placement. It is particularly suited for jazz (swing, bebop, modern jazz), and aesthetics such as neo soul, funk, and pop, where foot articulation and stick precision are essential. Its versatility also allows it to be used in rock and indie at moderate volume, offering a more musical sound than a very aggressive hi-hat.
Features and Innovations
The traditional manufacturing and hand hammering directly influence the feel: the cymbal responds quickly, with an organic sensation and a wide dynamic range. The lathing contributes to sound diffusion and frequency control, offering a good compromise between definition and harmonic complexity. In playing, this 14" facilitates transitions between foot chick, tight notes, and progressive openings, making it a solid choice for drummers who alternate styles and performance or studio contexts.
Sound Characteristics
The B20 Bronze alloy is known for producing a rich spectrum: present but never harsh highs, expressive mids, and a warmer foundation than entry-level alloys. On a hi-hat, this translates into a clean and controllable chick, good clarity in fast patterns, and an opening that retains body without becoming muddy.
Hand hammering adds complexity and a slight grain, highly appreciated in jazz: the hi-hat can remain fine and articulate in tight playing, then develop a broader texture as you open it progressively. The result: an instrument that can accompany subtly but also mark the tempo with a precise snap when the mix demands it.
