Sysi hi-hat

The Sihi Sysi Hi-Hats are engineered for drummers who appreciate a vintage flavor combined with musical control. These hi-hats deliver a fairly dark, warm tone, with a balanced sonic character that doesn’t overpower — ideal when you want your hi-hats to support rather than dominate.

Offered in sizes from 12″ through 16″, the Sysi hi-hats are built with medium-thin weight, giving them the responsiveness to handle delicate dynamics while still offering enough body to cut through in more energetic settings.

Tonally, these hi-hats lean toward mid-low to mid pitch, giving that warm foundation. The sustain is medium to quite short, meaning each chick or foot splash is defined but doesn’t linger excessively. The volume is in the medium to medium-low range, making these hats versatile for studio recording, smaller live gigs, or any setup where clarity and musical balance are prioritized.

For drummers playing jazz, folk, classic rock, singer-songwriter settings, or any genre that appreciates texture over sheer brightness, the Sysi hi-hats are a strong match. Despite their darker tonal leaning, they still offer clarity and articulation for stick work and groove.

Each pair of Sysi hi-hats is hand-hammered in Istanbul from premium B20 bronze, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern sonic expectations.
