Istanbul Agop's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 14" Epoch hi-hats ($679) are fairly thick, making them a little tough to control with the stick but great for busy left-foot interjections. Their dry. throaty splash sound was perfect for DeJohnette- style foot crashes. When played with sticks, the hats had a fairly high-pitched timbre and a lot of metallic overtones. These aren't the ideal hi-hats for super-subtle dynamic shifts. But for modern jazz applications where you're not afraid to really work your cymbals, White's Epochs have a lot
to offer."

Review: "All of the Epochs are distinguished by their medium to medium-heavy weights. This bulk, combined with the amount of hammering and lathing present produces stunningly complex cymbals that also deliver a potent kick.
The hi-hats are bright and cutting yet at the same time warm and full-bodied. Received wisdom might suggest that such characteristics would cancel one another out, but these hats defy such conventions. Instead they produce a delicious blend of deep, earthy tones beneath the sizzling attack. Stepping gives a fat 'chick' while laying into them with a relaxed pedal foot leaves them fizzing with enthusiasm."
