The Istanbul Mehmet HiHat 15" in traditional finish impresses with spectacular looks and a wonderfully multi-faceted sound that convinces beginners and professionals alike. The special feature of the Istanbul Mehmet BlackBell Cymbals is that the bell has a dark, untreated character and the playing surface is gently lathed This results in a spectacular frequency mix. The dark, raw Bell has an earthy and deep basic character and the lathed part produces smoother and more brilliant frequencies. Thus the HiHat sounds very earthy and dry, mixed with a bright, shimmering note. This HiHat from Istanbul enhances the sound of every drum set, whether playing drums in the rehearsal room or performing live with the band.
The resulting extremely wide sound range serves almost every style of music and can sound defined and quiet as well as loud and dark. All Istanbul Mehmet BlackBell Cymbals are made of high quality B20 bronze and, of course, like all Istanbul cymbals, are completely handcrafted according to old Turkish tradition. The BlackBell variants are available in a traditional and a shiny finish.
The special feature of the Istanbul Mehmet BlackBell cymbals is the combination of a raw bell and a lathed playing surface. The bell is in dark and untreated condition, the whole rest of the cymbal however is lathed and finely hammered. This combines the low and metallic frequencies of the bell with the bright and finely defined character of the playing surface, creating a unique mix that serves both loud and soft styles.
The extremely broad spectrum of the Istanbul Mehmet BlackBell cymbals predestines them for the work in the recording studio, but also on stage, during the live performance, they cut a good figure. Stylistically they can be used in every conceivable direction, from metal to pop or hip-hop. Gently struck, the tone is light and warm, with firm play the sound dark and deep. The Shiny version is even more brilliant and richer in overtones than the traditional version, which is earthier and warmer.
Like all Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals, the BlackBell version is 100% handmade in Turkey. Old tradition meets modern and innovative approaches in order to achieve the best results. The classic B20 alloy is used, which is standard in most professional cymbal series.
