Turkish Cymbals 13" Hi-Hat

13-inch hi-hats are the compact, fast-reacting alternative to the 14" standard: tighter, crisper in the chick and shorter in sustain. They're ideal for fast styles and small setups. Every hi-hat at Cymballand is hand-hammered and lathed in Istanbul from pure B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin).

Series in this size

In 13 inches, the choice ranges from the warm Millennium to the dark, velvety NJG and the premium Prestige-TR. The compact Travel is tailored to travel and world setups, the finely tuned John Blackwell Signature to funk and fusion, while the time-honored Classic works across genres. You'll find more sizes in our hi-hat cymbals overview.

What a 13-inch hi-hat is made for

The smaller diameter delivers a tighter, higher chick and a shorter response – perfect as an auxiliary hi-hat next to your main 14" or as the main pair for jazz, studio work and tight grooves where definition matters more than volume.
