Zodiac Cymbals 14" Hi-Hats Taurus Dry

Command the groove with the focused, punchy presence of the TAURUS DRY 14” Hi‑Hats! Handcrafted from premium B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin,) and hand‑hammered for precise tuning. These hi‑hats pair a dry, modern finish with bold musical presence — large volume, bright clarity, and an immediate, cutting attack ideal for rock, funk, and metal. 

The dense, hand‑hammered surface and deep, matte patina give these TAURUS DRY hi‑hats a rugged, timeworn look—richly textured, irregular indentations catch the light and suggest a raw, vintage character that’s striking at first glance. The visibly crafted hammer marks and subdued finish communicate artisanal workmanship and a no‑nonsense aesthetic that complements their focused, dry sound.
When struck, they deliver an incisive, direct attack with a sharp, cutting “chick” and a controlled, grainy wash—clear and articulate rather than shimmering, with strong stick definition and a compact decay suitable for high‑energy styles.
