Istanbul Traditional 15” Heavy Hi-Hat Cymbals

Istanbul Traditional 15” Heavy Hi-Hat cymbals are phat’n’funky with all the chunk and slop you want from a pair of 15″ Hats! Over the last decade or so, there’s been an almost universal movement towards larger diameter cymbals, especially by drummers looking to do more with less gear. Although 14″ diameter will always be the baseline size for Hi-Hats, we’re often seeing drummers coming into our store looking for Hi-Hat cymbals starting at a diameter of 15″, even looking for 17″ models (and Istanbul won’t disappoint you on that score)!

Full of all the warm, dark, fat and soft sounds associated with Traditional series cymbals, 15″ Heavy Hi-Hats are a great starting point for drummers looking for cymbals beyond the standard sizes. Here’s a video of the 15″ pair we found from our friends on YouTube (is that the source of all knowledge?)…

Istanbul’s Traditional Series cymbal sound is suited for pretty much every style of music imaginable. The classic concept of these fully lathed cymbals has proven its value throughout the years, from the earliest Jazz drummers and Be-Bop pioneers, right up to modern Heavy-Metal players.

Never resting on their laurels, Istanbul Traditional cymbals continue to evolve, developing and providing the sounds for the needs of the cutting-edge stylistic revolutionary players. Traditional Series cymbals continue to explore the musical possibilities derived from the darkest, responsive and pleasingly controllable cymbal sounds.

About Istanbul Cymbals

Istanbul cymbals were born from the collaboration between Mehmet Tamdeğer and Agop Tomurcuk, now cymbal-smiths with decades of joint cymbal-making experience. Mehmet and Agop named their company after the city that has been home to the epitome of high-quality cymbals for many, many years – Istanbul.
