The Meinl Pure Alloy Custom extra thin hammered hi-hat cymbals pair brings thoughtful design touches for nuance, warmth and playability. With a thin top cymbal and medium-thin bottom cymbal made from hand-hammered pure alloy bronze, this 14" hi-hat set has a beautifully complex, dark tonality. The thin profile makes these cymbals react and open easily, while the hand-hammering technique infuses musical complexity.

Warmth and Nuance With Pure Alloy Bronze

Crafted from Meinl's proprietary alloy blend, the Custom hi-hats sing with clarity and musicality. The pure alloy bronze formulation includes traditional metals, such as silver and copper for a complex, harmonic tone. These metals bring out the depth and character of the alloys, emphasizing the cymbals' natural warmth and shimmer.

Thin Yet Strong Design for Quick Response

With their thin top cymbal and medium-thin bottom, the pure alloy hi-hats are lightweight and react swiftly to your playing. The thin 14" profiles help the cymbals open easily while retaining enough mass for strong articulation. You can dig into complex rhythms and quick accents knowing these hi-hats will speak with clarity and nuance.

Hand-Hammered Finish Adds Warm, Vintage Character

Meinl utilizes traditional hand-hammering techniques to work warmth and complexity into the surface of these hi-hats. The extensive hammering along the bow subtly distorts the shape, introducing small variances that affect the sound. This artisanal process brings out richer overtones for a vintage, organic tonality that compliments a wide range of playing styles.

Pure Alloy Bronze for Classic Versatility

With their shimmering, nuanced voice, the pure alloy custom extra thin hammered hi-hats are at home in many musical settings. The thin but strong bronze profile makes these an excellent choice for drummers who need crisp, articulate cymbals that can also open up when called for. With hand-hammered warmth and superb responsiveness, they're ideal hi-hats for gigs and the studio.
