Turkish Cymbals FX Hi-Hat – Modern Reinterpretation
The FX Hi-Hat by Turkish Cymbals is a complete reinterpretation of the hi-hat concept. At 16" – larger than a standard hi-hat – and equipped with targeted perforations, it delivers a sonic character that differs fundamentally from classic hi-hats: more open, trashy and with a unique chick sound.
The Secret of the FX Series: Thin, Brilliant and Perforated
The FX series by Turkish Cymbals follows a clear principle: thin, brilliant and with targeted perforations. The holes in the cymbal are no decorative element – they are the acoustic centrepiece of the entire series. Each perforation deliberately interrupts the vibration transfer in the bronze body, resulting in an extremely short decay and a pronounced trashy sonic character. The brilliant finish of the surface combined with the thin construction ensures a lightning-fast response unachievable in thicker, unpolished cymbals. The result: a modern effect cymbal sound that is instantly recognisable.
Sound Character: Open, Trashy and Modern
The FX Hi-Hat played closed delivers a crisp, direct chick sound with a modern, slightly trashy character – the perforations give it an openness that classic hi-hats simply do not have. Played open a wide but quickly fading wash unfolds, ideal for short, precise accents. The 16" size delivers more volume and depth than a standard 14" hi-hat without losing control. The brilliant finish provides a strong stage presence – visually and acoustically a statement.
Applications: Rock, Progressive, Jungle, Jazz-Fusion and Contemporary
The FX Hi-Hat is aimed at drummers who want to give their groove an unmistakable voice. In Rock and Progressive the 16" size delivers more volume and assertiveness. In Jungle and modern electronic setups the trashy chick character is a creative sonic tool. In Jazz-Fusion and Contemporary the open, perforated construction opens new rhythmic possibilities beyond the classic hi-hat sound. For drummers who want to challenge conventions, the FX Hi-Hat is the first choice.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every FX cymbal is crafted in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul following a tradition that reaches back centuries. The B20 bronze alloy – 80% copper, 20% tin – is hand-cast, heated and hammered by experienced master craftsmen. The targeted perforations are applied with precision – a process requiring artisan skill to optimally control the sound. We at Cymballand are proud, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, to bring this craftsmanship directly to you – without intermediaries, at the best price.
