{"product_id":"agean-hi-hat-14-extreme-79991","title":"14\" HI HAT EXTREME","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Agean Extreme 14 hi-hat is part of the great tradition of handcrafted cymbals made in Turkey, a historic cradle of bronze work for drums. In this spirit, the Extreme series emphasizes manual manufacturing and complementary finishes, designed to offer a versatile hi-hat capable of shifting from delicate and finely lathed playing to a more assertive register. It positions itself as a characterful option for drummers seeking an expressive cymbal with personality, without sacrificing the overall balance of the spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTarget Audience for This Drum\/Instrument\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e14\" hi-hat\u003c\/strong\u003e is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e who want a responsive cymbal, rich in nuances and robust enough for stage contexts. It is particularly suited to styles where the hi-hat needs to cut clearly in the mix: \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efusion\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eindie\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003emodern grooves\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its balance also makes it relevant in the studio when seeking clear articulation with a metronome and varied playing textures (tip, shoulder, semi-open playing).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design combines \u003cstrong\u003ehand hammering\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003efine, shallow lathing\u003c\/strong\u003e, a duo that promotes both precision and musicality. The hammering brings harmonic complexity and a more \"organic\" feel under the stick, while the shallow lathing helps maintain a clear sound with less harshness in the highs. The \u003cstrong\u003eraw bell\u003c\/strong\u003e adds a sharper attack zone, useful for accentuating hits or reinforcing presence on offbeats. Finally, the work on \u003cstrong\u003edifferent finishes\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to a balanced hi-hat: bright enough to cut through, but with a darker, controlled base to stay clean as the tempo increases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBronze B25\u003c\/strong\u003e alloy (75 percent copper, 25 percent tin, traces of silver) aims for an interesting compromise between power, richness, and definition. On a hi-hat, this generally translates to a firm \u003cstrong\u003e\"chick\"\u003c\/strong\u003e sound with the foot, precise attack in closed playing, and an opening that maintains body without turning into white noise. The B25 can also provide a sense of density in the low-midrange, useful for adding body to grooves and avoiding a thin sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003efine and shallow lathing\u003c\/strong\u003e favors \u003cstrong\u003eclear articulation\u003c\/strong\u003e : each stroke stands out with clarity, helping to keep a readable pulse in a band setting. The \u003cstrong\u003eraw bell\u003c\/strong\u003e, more direct, adds a rougher, more projected register, practical for creating contrasts within the same piece. In semi-open playing, it offers an expressive grain with good control, ideal for dynamic patterns and chorus builds. Overall, it delivers a versatile hi-hat capable of being tight, cutting, and musical depending on foot pressure and striking area.\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\u003eAlloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBronze B25 (75 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)\"\u003e14 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e2 years\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\u003eException\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esplashes and cymbals from the R Series\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Agean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54361599967507,"sku":"79991","price":319.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/c19b803fa4e8c2c1d10ab3eb902281910426accb_AGE_EX14HH.jpg?v=1792647785","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/agean-14-hi-hat-extreme-79991","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
