Anatolian Diamond 14" Hihat

With Anatolian’s Diamond cymbals, we’re entering a slightly unusual sonic space for Turkish cymbals – and that’s meant in the best way possible.

The Diamond series likely gets its name from its sound: clear, bright, and transparent. These cymbals offer an overall bright tonal profile, yet still retain the warmth, complexity, and character you’d expect from a handcrafted Turkish cymbal.

The hi-hat sits in the higher tonal register and has an almost “hi-fi” quality to its sound. It responds quickly, with a crisp top and solid low-end, while the midrange feels slightly scooped – in a way that adds air and definition to your mix.

The stick definition has a nice fullness, without the decay becoming too long. That gives you an attack that’s clear enough for articulate playing, yet still controlled and musical.

Check out the video – a seriously cool hi-hat for pop, rock, gospel, R&B, techno, and more.
