Turkish Cymbals Euphonic Hi-Hat – Controlled Warmth

The Euphonic Hi-Hat by Turkish Cymbals offers a sonic character that combines complex warmth with modern precision. The chick sound is hot, direct and laced with harmonic overtones – a hi-hat that gives the groove its own identity.

The Secret of the Euphonic Series: Brilliant Edges, Matte Centre

The Euphonic series by Turkish Cymbals embodies a unique combination of two contrasting surfaces that together produce an extraordinary sound. The edges are high-gloss polished – a brilliant finish that ensures fast, direct response. The centre and bell, by contrast, are matte and unlathed – not raw, but carefully treated through a special acid bath and intensive hammering. This unlathed, matte surface produces a controlled, dark and full sonic character that differs fundamentally from classically lathed cymbals. The result of this combination: the brilliant edges deliver speed of response and clear attack, while the unlathed surface builds a round, deep and complex fundamental sound. A very labour-intensive manufacturing process – for a sound that deserves it.

Sound Character: Warm, Direct and Expressive

The Euphonic Hi-Hat delivers a compact, warm chick sound with richly layered overtones and a direct, fast response. Played closed the stick sound is clear and defined – the brilliant edges respond instantly to every stroke. Played open a full, dark wash unfolds with controlled overtones that carry the groove musically without dominating. The chick sound carries a characteristic warmth that distinguishes it from classically lathed hi-hats. In 14" and 15", the Euphonic Hi-Hat offers two character dimensions – more direct and drier in the 14" model, fuller and warmer in the 15" model.

Applications: Rock, Progressive Rock, Blues and Contemporary

The Euphonic Hi-Hat is an all-rounder with an unmistakable character. In Rock it delivers precise grooves with a warmer, darker sound than classic high-gloss hi-hats. In Progressive Rock drummers appreciate the complex overtones in the open wash. In Blues the complex warmth gives the groove emotional depth. In Contemporary and Mainstream the combination of directness and character works equally well in the studio and on stage.

Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price

The labour-intensive finishing process of high-gloss polishing, acid bath and special hammer treatment is the result of deep craft knowledge. 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.
