The Istanbul Agop Traditional Dark Hi-Hats – 17 inch deliver a deep, dark, and expressive character with exceptional musical control. As the thinnest hi-hats in the Traditional Series (previously known as Traditional Light), they produce a lower-pitched, more controlled open sound paired with a fatter, softer closed tone. Perfect for drummers seeking warmth and nuance, these hi-hats respond effortlessly to dynamic playing, making them ideal for both subtle textures and expressive grooves. Available from Sky Music Australia, they are a refined choice for players who value tonal depth and sensitivity.

Part of the iconic Traditional Series—where Istanbul Agop’s legacy began—these hi-hats are fully lathed on both top and bottom to create rich, warm overtones and a highly musical presence. Designed to complement a wide range of styles from jazz and blues to rock and fusion, the 16" Traditional Dark Hi-Hats offer a balanced blend of articulation, wash, and warmth that elevates any drum kit.
