Turkish Cymbals FX Hi-Hat – Trashy effect chick
The FX Hi-Hat by Turkish Cymbals is a pair of 16" hi-hat cymbals with large round holes of different diameters. Unlike the China and Crash in the series, it isn’t polished to a high gloss but has a Traditional finish. Top and bottom are the same weight – both are light cymbals with a Thin build. The idea for the large holes comes from the Sirius series by Turkish Cymbals; they keep the sound short and make it trashy.
Sound character: dirty chick, short wash
The chick sounds crackly and dirty – a real effect sound rather than a clean, classic chick. Play the closed hi-hat with a stick, and it sounds trashy and grimy. Played open, the FX Hi-Hat gives you a short, washy hiss. And at 16", it’s also bigger than a typical 14" hi-hat.
Applications: rock, progressive, jungle, jazz-fusion and contemporary
With the FX Hi-Hat, you give your groove a raw, gritty colour. In rock and prog, its crackly chick lends beats and breaks extra bite. In jungle and electronic productions, its trashy sound sits naturally among samples and synths. For jazz-fusion players who find a classic hi-hat too smooth, it’s the alternative. Add the FX Crash for short, explosive accents.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every FX cymbal is made in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul, where handmade B20 bronze cymbals have been crafted for more than 25 years. The bronze – 80% copper, 20% tin – is cast by hand, heated in traditional furnaces and hammered by experienced master craftsmen, stroke by stroke. After that, the cymbals are lathed; the holes are made by machine. The China and Crash are polished to a high gloss, while the Hi-Hat gets a Traditional finish. Because casting and hammering are done by hand, every FX cymbal sounds just a little different. At Cymballand, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, we bring this craft straight to you – no middlemen.
