The Istanbul Agop 15" OM Hi-Hats deliver a beautifully organic blend of warmth, dryness, and musical complexity—perfect for drummers seeking expressive tonal control with a modern, earthy character. Designed in collaboration with renowned drummer Omar Hakim, the OM Series combines rich Turkish cymbal tradition with a uniquely contemporary voice.

Handcrafted in Istanbul, these 15" hi-hats feature a raw, unlathed top paired with a traditionally finished underside, giving them a textured, woody stick response and a controlled, smoky wash. Their larger diameter provides enhanced body and fullness, while the medium-thin weight profile keeps the feel responsive and articulate, even at low volumes.

Closed, the OM Hi-Hats produce a tight, defined “chick” with a warm, dark tone that sits beautifully in mixes without overpowering. Open, they deliver a complex, airy spread with just the right amount of dryness for modern jazz, fusion, funk, indie, and world music styles. Their dynamic sensitivity makes them equally suited for subtle studio work, groove-focused playing, and expressive improvisation.

These hats excel when nuance matters: buttery stick definition, earthy low-end character, and a musicality that adapts effortlessly to acoustic or electric environments. If you’re looking for hi-hats that inspire creativity and offer a sound palette both timeless and modern, the Istanbul Agop 15" OM Hi-Hats are a remarkable choice.
