Istanbul Agop hi-hat comparison

This video was recorded to get an idea about the differences between the different types of hi-hats. Video contains short demonstration of the following instruments:
14" Joey Waronker
14" Mel Lewis
14" Traditional Jazz
13" Agop Signature
15" Mantra
15" Om
14", 15", 16" 30th Anniversary

Never been into Agop’s all that much but the 30th Anniversaries definitely take the cake as being among some of the absolute best hi-hats I’ve ever heard. The Joey Waronker’s and OM’s were pretty solid too.

Thanks for this. I have the 14" 30th Anniversary, but I have to say the Mel Lewis & the Om's really did it for me.
