Turkish Cymbals Raw Dark Hi-Hat – Hard, Clear and Aggressive
The Raw Dark series by Turkish Cymbals was developed for drummers seeking a powerful, dark and extremely dry sound – without compromise. Like the Prestige-TR series, Raw Dark cymbals have a special black finish – not lacquer, but a chemical treatment of the B20 bronze itself. The defining feature is the oversized bell: larger, more dominant, with a penetrating bell tone that commands space in any stage mix. The fully raw, unlathed black surface eliminates unwanted overtones and produces an aggressive, focused sound with intense stick response, short decay and controlled dynamics.
Sound Character: Dry, Aggressive and Precise
The Raw Dark Hi-Hat in 14” is a hi-hat for drummers who need a hard, clear and aggressive chick sound in loud setups. The chick is direct and cutting – the black, unlathed surface produces a dry, aggressive response without unnecessary wash. Played closed the Medium-Heavy hi-hat delivers a powerful, defined stick sound with high volume and projection. Played open: dark, controlled wash – short, precise, without expansive sustain. The massive construction with its oversized bell character gives the sound additional depth and body.
Applications: Metal, Grunge, Progressive Rock and Rock
In Metal the hard chick delivers precise rhythmic patterns with maximum projection. In Grunge the raw, direct character is right at home. In Progressive Rock the dry character enables complex hi-hat patterns with high clarity. In Rock the hi-hat projects with power and precision – loud, defined, unmistakable.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every Raw Dark cymbal is crafted in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul from the secret B20 bronze alloy – 80% copper, 20% tin – hand-cast, heated and intensively hammered by experienced master craftsmen. The subsequent black treatment process – not lacquer, but a chemical reaction with the bronze itself – and the deliberate absence of lathing create the unmistakable look and aggressive sound of this series. We at Cymballand are proud, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, to bring this series directly to you – without intermediaries, at the best price.
