Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Treasure Jazz series is part of the great tradition of Turkish cymbals, where shaping and hand hammering directly contribute to musicality. Within the Agean range, this 14 hi-hat is positioned as an option oriented towards jazz and expressive playing, designed to recapture the grain, flexibility, and complexity associated with vintage cymbals, while maintaining a definition suitable for modern contexts.
Who This Drum/Hi-Hat Is For
This 14 hi-hat is aimed at intermediate to advanced drummers seeking an inspiring cymbal, sensitive to nuances and capable of responding to variations in attack. It is particularly comfortable in jazz, swing, bebop, fusion, blues, and funk with a light touch, but it will also suit studio settings where harmonic richness and dynamic control take precedence over raw volume.
Features and Innovations
The personality of this hi-hat comes from traditional manufacturing and manual hammering, two factors that influence the distribution of harmonics, the touch sensitivity, and the way the cymbal "opens up" as intensity increases. The 14 size offers a very versatile balance: enough presence to mark the tempo, while remaining agile for edge articulations and texture playing. The Treasure Jazz series primarily aims for an organic, lively sound, with the feeling of a "played" cymbal rather than just a bright one.
Sound Characteristics
The Bronze B25 alloy (75 percent copper, 25 percent tin, traces of silver) promotes a complex and harmonically rich sonic signature. On a hi-hat, this translates into a detailed response under the stick, with a blend of warmth and definition that highlights ghost notes, accents, and variations in striking position.
Closed, it delivers a clean and precise "chick", useful for laying down time without aggressiveness. Semi-open, it offers a musical and textured breath, very suitable for jazz phrasing and subtle grooves. Open, it remains expressive and nuanced, with controlled projection that recalls the spirit of vintage jazz cymbals, while retaining enough clarity to fit into a mix.
