These Istanbul Mehmet Turk hi-hats are a real character choice. The flat hole design gives them a controlled, dry sound with a surprising amount of complexity – perfect for rock, jazz, or anyone wanting a less splashy, more articulate hi-hat. They’re built solid, but the untreated finish means they’ll develop a unique patina over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

The A Customs are generally brighter and more open sounding, whereas these Turks offer a more focused and drier response – a noticeable difference in character.
While versatile, their drier tone might require more EQ processing to sit well with heavily processed electronic sounds; they’re best suited for more organic drum sounds.
You'll hear a crisp, defined 'tick' with a shorter sustain, reflecting the drier nature of the cymbal and the flat hole design – very clean and articulate.
