Agean 13" Hi Hat Beast

Historical context and position within the range

The Agean Beast 13-inch hi-hat belongs to a series of cymbals designed for drummers seeking a raw and distinctive sonic identity. Handmade in Uzunköprü, Turkey, this cymbal follows the tradition of Turkish artisan instruments, where every stage of hammering and hand-lathing directly contributes to the model's sonic personality.

The Beast series stands out through its striking visual appearance, particularly thanks to its deep hammer marks. This finishing is not limited to aesthetics: it contributes to the cymbal's irregular, lively and expressive character. This hi-hat therefore prioritizes texture, presence and temperament over an overly smooth or standardized sound.

Who is the Agean Beast 13-inch hi-hat for?

This hi-hat is primarily intended for intermediate, advanced and professional drummers who want to add a characterful cymbal to their setup. Its 13-inch size will particularly appeal to musicians looking for an immediate response, clear stick definition and a responsive playing feel.

Its dry and trashy tonal character naturally suits alternative rock, garage, punk, fusion, funk, contemporary jazz, experimental music and urban music. Thanks to its expressive potential when played as a crash, it can also appeal to drummers who like to take their hi-hat beyond its traditional rhythmic role.
