15" Constantine Karadag Medium Thin Hi-Hats

Karadag

The Karadag series is a hybrid of the Kazza and the Black Pearl series, giving the best of both series melded into one.  The Black Pearl "ring" gives a 2nd playing surface and slightly dries the sound, while the Kazza section provides the more modern Turkish sound. We find this series to be very versatile!
