{"product_id":"agean-hi-hat-13-extreme-217185","title":"13\" HI HAT EXTREME","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgean cymbals are rooted in the great tradition of Turkish craftsmanship, where shaping, hammering, and lathing are conceived as true musical operations. The \u003cstrong\u003eExtreme\u003c\/strong\u003e series positions itself as a bold character offering, with surface work combining different finishes and a \u003cstrong\u003eraw bell\u003c\/strong\u003e to provide contrast. Within the range, this hi-hat aims for a balance between versatility and sonic identity while staying true to an artisanal approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Hi-Hat Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e13-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e hi-hat is particularly suited to \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a quick response and very clear definition, both with the foot and sticks. Its compact size fits contexts where excess volume is to be avoided while maintaining presence: \u003cstrong\u003efunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003egroove\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efusion\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eindie\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as \u003cstrong\u003emodern jazz\u003c\/strong\u003e and studio situations. It will also appeal to drummers who play with fine nuances (ghost notes, short openings, quick accents) and want an expressive hi-hat without heaviness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design emphasizes \u003cstrong\u003etraditional manufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003emanual hammering\u003c\/strong\u003e, a key element to achieve a responsive cymbal rich in micro-variations and pleasant under the stick. The \u003cstrong\u003efine and shallow lathing\u003c\/strong\u003e helps stabilize the response, promotes a more precise attack, and maintains clear articulation in the mix. The \u003cstrong\u003eraw bell\u003c\/strong\u003e adds a more direct striking area, with increased attack and a more pronounced grain, useful for accentuating or adding a drier color when needed. Finally, the \u003cstrong\u003eexcellent sonic balance\u003c\/strong\u003e results from the contrast between finishes: this allows combining definition, warmth, and control without sacrificing musicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eB25 Bronze alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e (75 percent copper, 25 percent tin, traces of silver) is renowned for its \u003cstrong\u003eharmonic complexity\u003c\/strong\u003e and ability to remain musical even when played hard. On a hi-hat, this translates into a rich spectrum, a detailed top end, and a sensation of a \"wide\" dynamic range: you can play softly without the sound dying out, then increase volume without the cymbal becoming flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e13-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e size favors a quick response, a tight \u003cstrong\u003e\"chick\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, and controlled openings. This diameter is often appreciated for gaining rhythmic precision, especially when the tempo is fast or when very clear articulation is sought. The \u003cstrong\u003efine and shallow lathing\u003c\/strong\u003e supports this clarity: the attack is more defined, with generally better-controlled sustain, which helps maintain clean playing in dense arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eraw bell\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a texture contrast: it enhances the presence of attacks and gives a more direct personality on certain striking zones. Combined with the different finishes, it helps achieve a balanced hi-hat capable of alternating between precise closed playing, edgy half-open sounds, and wider openings without losing control or timbral coherence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eHi-hat\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e75 percent copper, 25 percent tin, traces of silver\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e13 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgean warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e2 years (except for splashes and cymbals from the R Series)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eExtreme\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsage note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eR Series cymbals particularly require adapted playing\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Agean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357235040531,"sku":"217185","price":295.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/40aa75dda94c21662d7323a6beb997bb77ec32cb_AGE_EX13HH.jpg?v=1792529069","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/agean-13-hi-hat-extreme-217185","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
