Within the range, it is positioned as a line designed to cover a wide variety of musical contexts, with a sought-after balance between character, musicality, and adaptability both in the studio and on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Hi-Hat Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Agean Custom 14 hi-hat is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e who want an expressive cymbal capable of following dynamic and articulation variations.

The \u003cstrong\u003etraditional manufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ehand hammering\u003c\/strong\u003e directly influence the cymbal's behavior: each strike reveals a more organic response, with pleasant micro-variations that add depth to the playing. This is also what makes the Custom series a very flexible option for switching between contexts without changing setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eB20\u003c\/strong\u003e alloy is renowned for its harmonic richness and musicality: on a hi-hat, this translates into a more complex texture, a more \"singing\" openness, and better timbral depth than a simpler alloy. When closed, it generally produces a clear and defined \"chick,\" while when opened, the cymbal develops a broader spectrum, balancing brightness and warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand hammering\u003c\/strong\u003e adds character and sensitivity: the cymbal responds well to nuances (ghost notes, accents, tip variations), while maintaining projection suitable for live situations. The result is a hi-hat that can stay precise in a busy mix but retains an artisanal feel and a true personality under the sticks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eHi-hat\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e14 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eCustom\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003etraditional\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHammering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ehand\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of manufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eTurkey, Uzunkopru\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBronze B20\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e80 percent copper, 20 percent tin, traces of silver\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e2 years\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExceptions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esplashes and cymbals from the R Series (appropriate playing required)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eany defect and crack appearing in the groove of the lathing (in the same direction as the lathing lines)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Agean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360282398995,"sku":"217197","price":319.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/b4e2b10d2142e9f9647eee752f68d90e1364b4d8_AGE_CU14HH.jpg?v=1787382546","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/agean-14-hi-hat-custom-217197","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
