Turkish Cymbals Soundscape Snake Hi-Hat – The Rattle of the Snake in Sound
The Jarrod Cagwin Soundscape series arose from a unique artistic collaboration: American drummer and percussionist Jarrod Cagwin – known for his work in Contemporary Music, World Music, Jazz and Film Scoring as a hybrid drummer and hand percussionist – developed this series together with Turkish Cymbals with no compromises. Each model bears the name of a natural phenomenon and tells its own sonic story. The goal: to create a natural sound tapestry that can be creatively shaped and controlled.
The Name: Snake – The Controlled Rattle of the Snake
The rattle of a snake is a perfectly controlled warning signal – precisely measured, immediately audible and of unmistakable character. The Snake Hi-Hat in 12”, 13” and 14” translates this phenomenon into bronze: a specially arranged rivet configuration produces a controlled rattle sound during playing. Four rivets on top in two opposing pairs, two rivets on the inside on the bottom – each rivet precisely placed to control the vibration pattern. Completely unlathed, with raw, unlathed bells – no lathing traces, minimal overtones.
Sound Character: Dry, Rattling and Unique
The Snake Hi-Hat delivers an extremely dry tonal character with a distinctive sizzle-rattle effect. Played closed the rivet configuration produces a controlled, continuous rattle. Played open the lightweight 12”–14” models can also be used as splash or crash cymbals – a versatility that conventional hi-hats do not offer. Together with the Snake Ride a surround sizzle effect emerges, audible with the lightest touch.
Applications: Contemporary, World Music, Jazz and Film Scoring
The Snake Hi-Hat is the centrepiece of the Soundscape series for drummers and percussionists seeking unconventional rhythm instruments. In Contemporary and World Music contexts the controlled rattle creates a unique rhythmic texture. In Film Scoring and Jazz it delivers atmospheric, organic grooves. The lightweight 12” and 13” sizes are particularly suited to acoustic settings and hand percussion.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every Soundscape cymbal is crafted in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul following a tradition that reaches back centuries. The secret B20 bronze alloy – 80% copper, 20% tin – is hand-cast, heated and worked by experienced master craftsmen. Jarrod Cagwin’s precise sonic vision and the deep craft of the Istanbul masters together produce cymbals that no other company can make in this way. We at Cymballand are proud, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, to bring this exceptional series directly to you – without intermediaries, at the best price.
