Thin top, fat bottom - the recipe for groove
The recipe of this hi-hat pair is simple: a thin, light top and a heavy, thick bottom cymbal. That is what makes it sound exactly as tight and funky as a cajon setup deserves. Its distinctive, assertive closing sound articulates the rhythm precisely without drowning out the natural voice of the cajon.
Size and volume tailored to the cajon
The 12 inch (about 30 cm) diameter delivers a full sound, yet at a more pleasant, restrained overall volume than the cymbals of a large drum kit. So whether you practise at home, play in a small room or perform acoustically, it will not become harshly loud - a perfect addition to your cajon setup.
Hand-hammered B20 bronze from Turkey
The cymbals are handmade in Turkey from high-quality B20 bronze, shaped by hand hammering. This craftsmanship gives them a large tonal range: from soft, whispering play to assertive, cutting accents, you can draw many shades of sound from them.
What should you play it with?
The pair can be played with hands, rods, brushes or sticks. Because of its attack and basic design, the manufacturer recommends playing with a rod or stick, so the full spectrum of sound can be retrieved. It weighs 1.4 kg and measures 31 × 31 × 3 cm.
