{"product_id":"agean-hi-hat-16-special-jazz-79752","title":"16\" HI HAT SPECIAL JAZZ","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning Within the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in Turkey at Uzunkopru, this hi-hat is part of the great tradition of Turkish cymbals, renowned for their musicality, tonal richness, and the uniqueness brought by handcrafting. Within the Agean catalog, the \u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Jazz\u003c\/strong\u003e series emphasizes articulation finesse and harmonic depth: an approach designed to serve styles where the cymbal must \"speak\" subtly, while retaining enough presence to fit into more powerful contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Hi-Hat Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 16-inch hi-hat is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking an expressive cymbal capable of responding to touch variations. In jazz, it excels on delicate placements, controlled openings, and hi-hat patterns that need to remain detailed without being aggressive. In rock, it offers a broader and deeper color than smaller models, highly appreciated for thickening the groove and adding body to the foot \"chick.\" It is also well suited for fusion, blues, funk, and modern setups where a wide, textured, and musical hi-hat is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe signature of this model lies in its \u003cstrong\u003etraditional manufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ehand hammering\u003c\/strong\u003e, which directly influence the playing feel: a more organic response, extended dynamic range, and a unique personality for each pair. The \u003cstrong\u003e16-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e size promotes a deeper foundation and wider projection, helping to fill the sonic space without excessive volume. Under the stick, the attack remains clear, while the open sound provides a rich texture and dense harmonic spectrum, particularly useful for accompaniment without hardening the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eB25 Bronze Alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e (75 percent copper, 25 percent tin, traces of silver) is prized for its \u003cstrong\u003ecomplexity\u003c\/strong\u003e and ability to produce a tone that is both deep and nuanced. On a hi-hat, this translates into a very musical combination of \u003cstrong\u003edefinition\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003egrain\u003c\/strong\u003e : the stick retains precision, but the sound is not limited to a dry \"tick\"; it is accompanied by rich harmonics and a livelier texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e16-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e diameter lowers the perceived pitch and enhances the sense of width. Closed, the \"chick\" is generally rounder and fuller, ideal for setting a tempo without aggression. Semi-open, it delivers a broader wash with a presence that holds well in a band, which explains why this type of hi-hat, though designed for jazz, is often adopted by rock drummers seeking a bigger, deeper, and more expressive hi-hat.\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\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e16-Inch Hi-Hat\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSpecial Jazz\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\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\u003eException\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esplashes and cymbals from the R Series (require particularly adapted playing)\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 lathe 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":54358400041235,"sku":"79752","price":379.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/a8b11081c82fc09680b39b44e8a6b05880707e69_AGE_SJ16HH.jpg?v=1787340908","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/agean-16-hi-hat-special-jazz-79752","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
