The Istanbul Hamer Hi-Hat 15" (Natural) is a handmade B20 cymbal from Istanbul, from the Hamer series. It is made from B20 Bronze. The unique design feature of the Hamer series from Istanbul is the extra-large hammer marks on the centre ring of the cymbal. It offers the warm sound of Turkish cymbals, combined with a shorter sustain and a little more trash factor. Overall the sound is warm and balanced, with short sustain, yet fast response. The Istanbul Hamer Cymbals are available in a number of finishes.
Like all Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals, the Hamer Series is 100% handcrafted in Turkey. Old tradition meets modern and innovative approaches and achieves impressive results. The classic B20 alloy, which is used as standard in most professional cymbal series, is used.
