Noctem 13" Hi-Hat Cymbals

The Vesper Noctem 13-inch hi-hat cymbals offer an exceptional tonal character, making them a fantastic choice for a wide array of musical situations, from intimate studio sessions to bustling concert hall performances. Crafted from a unique B25 bronze alloy, each cymbal in the Noctem Series embarks on a meticulous journey guided by skilled artisans. This process starts with intense oven firing and precise hand hammering, carefully shaping the metal before it's immersed in a saltwater bath to refine its inherent properties. A second firing in the oven prepares the cymbal for its final artistic touch: a distinctive Diem Series-style lathe applied exclusively to the outer edges. This innovative method creates a striking visual and sonic contrast, highlighting the raw, un-lathed bell and center against the finished outer rim.
