Turkish Cymbals Cappadocia Hi-Hat – Earthy Authority

The Cappadocia series by Turkish Cymbals takes its name from one of the most fascinating landscapes in the world: Cappadocia in central Anatolia – a world of volcanic rock, ancient cave cities and thousands of years of history. Like the landscape it is named after, this series combines unmistakable character with timeless depth. The unique dark hammering pattern and charcoal-black patina of the Cappadocia cymbals are not merely visually extraordinary – they are the direct expression of their earthy, dry and deeply musical sonic character.

Sound Character: Dark, Tight and Controlled

The Cappadocia Hi-Hat in 15" offers a sonic character that commands instant attention: dark, tight and with limited overtones. The chick sound when closing is charcoal-dark and compressed – no bright sizzle, but an earthy, deep sonic moment that gives the groove authority. Played closed it delivers a clearly articulated stick sound with a dry decay – precise, controlled, musical. Played open it unfolds a full, distinctive wash with minimal shimmer – rich, dark and expressive. The 15" size offers more depth and volume than a standard 14" hi-hat, without sacrificing control.

Applications: Jazz, Funk and Grunge-Rock

The Cappadocia Hi-Hat is the ideal instrument for drummers seeking a distinctive groove sound. In Jazz the dry, articulate stick sound impresses with fine dynamics and musical depth. In Funk the compressed chick sound gives every pattern rhythmic precision and groove. In Grunge-Rock the open position unleashes its earthy, raw-dark power. Thanks to its suitability across all dynamic ranges – from the faintest brushes to powerful stick attacks – this hi-hat is a reliable partner for every musical style.

Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price

Every Cappadocia cymbal is crafted in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul following a tradition that reaches back centuries. The secret B20 bronze alloy – 80% copper, 20% tin – is hand-cast, heated in traditional furnaces and hammered thousands of times by experienced master craftsmen. The characteristic dark hammering pattern of the Cappadocia series is the result of a unique finishing process – each cymbal bears the unmistakable signature of the master who shaped it. 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.
