Turkish Cymbals X-TR Dark Hi-Hat – Trashy drive
The X-TR Dark Hi-Hat by Turkish Cymbals is a pair of hi-hat cymbals with a deep, dark and slightly trashy character. The X-TR Dark series is the dark voice of the X-TR family: Turkish Cymbals craftsmanship from Istanbul and modern production, combined with a large hammer pattern and a dark finish. The result is a full sound with deep overtones and a shorter sustain than Brilliant and Classic, while the Medium weight gives the cymbals a warm, driving tone. In terms of price, X-TR is one of the most affordable B20 series from Turkish Cymbals – worth a look for beginners and pros alike. In the USA, the series is known as Meta Dark: these are the same cymbals from Istanbul.
Sound character: deep, dark and trashy
Played closed with sticks, the X-TR Dark Hi-Hat sounds earthy and defined, with a short, controlled sustain; played with the foot, it gives you a full-bodied chick with the same earthy edge. Open, it spreads into a dark, slightly trashy wash with warm overtones that pushes your playing forward. The large hammer pattern breaks up the overtones and creates the dark, full tone of the series. The result is a hi-hat with noticeable drive that never gets harsh.
Applications: grunge, rock, funk, blues and jazz fusion
With the X-TR Dark Hi-Hat, drummers get a dark hi-hat sound with real character. In a grunge or rock band, it carries earthy, driving patterns that stand up to the guitars. On funk and blues grooves, the warm, trashy chick gives your playing depth, and in jazz fusion the dark fundamental adds atmosphere. Pair it with the X-TR Dark Crash, and your groove and crash accents fit together seamlessly.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every X-TR Dark cymbal is made in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul from B20 bronze – 80% copper, 20% tin. The bronze is cast, hammered partly by hand and partly by machine, and then lathed. This combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern production ensures consistent sound quality across all sizes and models. At Cymballand, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, we bring the X-TR series straight to you – no middlemen.
