Turkish Cymbals X-TR Dark Hi-Hat – Dark, Trashy and Full of Drive

The X-TR Dark series from Turkish Cymbals combines the best of two worlds: traditional Turkish craftsmanship from Istanbul combined with a modern manufacturing process – refined by a unique, large hammering pattern and a darker finish. The result is a full-bodied sound with shorter sustain and deep overtones – the dark voice within the X-TR family. With their Medium weight, the X-TR Dark cymbals deliver a warm, driving sound that excels both on stage and in the studio. As one of the most accessible series in the Turkish Cymbals catalog, the X-TR Dark cymbals make professional B20 quality affordable for all drummers – without compromising on sound.

Sound Character: Deep, Dark and Trashy

The X-TR Dark Hi-Hat in 14" delivers a deep, dark, trashy character with warm overtones and a palpable drive. Played closed, it produces an earthy, defined chick with a short, controlled sustain. Played open, a dark, slightly trashy wash unfolds, lending warmth and forward momentum to the groove. The large hammering pattern breaks up the overtones and creates the series' characteristically dark, full-bodied tone.

Applications: Grunge, Rock, Funk, Blues and Jazz-Fusion

In Grunge and Rock, the X-TR Dark Hi-Hat delivers earthy, driving patterns with character. In Funk and Blues, the warm, trashy chick excels. In Jazz-Fusion, the dark fundamental tone lends depth and atmosphere to your playing.
