Turkish Cymbals Xanthos-Jazz Hi-Hat – Warm, Controlled and Musical
The Xanthos-Jazz series from Turkish Cymbals features a unique three-part surface structure: The bell and edge are raw and unlathed – heavily hammered, with an organic, dark texture. The middle playing surface (bow) is traditionally lathed with a natural sheen – no high gloss, no lacquer, just the natural brilliance of the crafted bronze. The underside is fully lathed and polished, giving the cymbal enhanced projection and tonal brightness. The result is a warm, controlled sound with a rich tonal palette: quick response, musical overtones, and balanced stick definition – versatile, deeply characterful, and highly musical.
Sound Character: Warm, Defined and Distinctive
The Xanthos-Jazz Hi-Hat in 14" and 15" delivers a warm, controlled chick sound with rich sonic depth. The three-part surface gives the hi-hat an exceptional sonic complexity: the raw bell and edge provide organic warmth and darkness, while the lathed center ensures clarity and projection. When played closed, it delivers a defined, warm chick with balanced dynamics. When played open, it develops a warm, beautifully controlled wash with deep musicality. The 15" model offers more volume and depth.
Applications: Blues, Latin, Pop-Rock, R'n'B, Soul, Funk, and Traditional Jazz
In Jazz and Blues, the Xanthos-Jazz Hi-Hat responds sensitively to brushes and light sticks, delivering a warm, organic character. In Funk, Soul, and R'n'B, the warm chick provides essential groove and authenticity. In Latin and Pop-Rock, its musical versatility excels flawlessly.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every Xanthos-Jazz cymbal is crafted in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul from the secret B20 bronze alloy – 80% copper, 20% tin – hand-cast, heated, and carefully hammered by experienced master craftsmen. The elaborate three-part surface treatment demands the highest craft precision. We at Cymballand are proud, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, to bring this series directly to you – without intermediaries, at the best price.
