Turkish Cymbals 16" Hi-Hat

16-inch hi-hats are the big, fat voices on the kit: a broad, voluminous fundamental, a powerful, assertive chick and – half open – a huge, sloshy wash that carries entire grooves. Every cymbal at Cymballand is hand-hammered in Istanbul from pure B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin).

In 16 inches we carry the dark Ad Astra – developed with metal drummer Özgür Can Öney – and the creative FX for modern, effect-rich sounds.

What a 16-inch hi-hat is made for

The big hi-hat lays the foundation for fat grooves in rock, metal and hip-hop-influenced productions: every stroke has weight, the chick cuts through even loud guitar walls, and half open it creates a massive sound layer no other cymbal can replace.

Cymballand has been the official Turkish Cymbals dealer in Germany since 2015. We ship hand-picked cymbals from Berlin – each one played and checked individually. Find your 16-inch hi-hat and order directly from Cymballand.
