Visually, these cymbals are reminiscent of an \u003cstrong\u003eOttoman shield\u003c\/strong\u003e – dark finish from the furnace process, natural unlathed surface, and a strikingly large bell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #000000 !important; font-size: 18px !important; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; padding-bottom: 3px;\"\u003eSound Character: Large, Dark and Expressive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #000000 !important;\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAd Astra Hi-Hat in 16\"\u003c\/strong\u003e exceeds the standard size and rethinks the hi-hat from the ground up.

In \u003cstrong\u003eFunk and Fusion\u003c\/strong\u003e the closed position impresses with its warm, earthy articulation. For drummers who also use their hi-hat as a rhythmic accent instrument, the 16\" size opens possibilities that a standard 14\" hi-hat simply cannot provide.

At \u003cstrong\u003e16\"\u003c\/strong\u003e – larger than a standard hi-hat – and equipped with targeted perforations, it delivers a sonic character that differs fundamentally from classic hi-hats: more open, trashy and with a unique chick sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #000000 !important; font-size: 18px !important; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; padding-bottom: 3px;\"\u003eThe Secret of the FX Series: Thin, Brilliant and Perforated\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #000000 !important;\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eFX series by Turkish Cymbals\u003c\/strong\u003e follows a clear principle: \u003cstrong\u003ethin, brilliant and with targeted perforations\u003c\/strong\u003e. The holes in the cymbal are no decorative element – they are the acoustic centrepiece of the entire series. Each perforation deliberately interrupts the vibration transfer in the bronze body, resulting in an \u003cstrong\u003eextremely short decay\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003epronounced trashy sonic character\u003c\/strong\u003e.
