Meinl 14" Anika Nilles Lunar Hi-Hats — Artist Design Cymbals (AD4)
The Meinl 14" Anika Nilles Lunar Hi-Hats (AD4) are a premium heavy-weight hi-hat pair designed in collaboration with renown drummer Anika Nilles. Hand-hammered in Turkey from rich B20 bronze alloy, this set features custom engraved artwork applied directly to the cymbal surface, offering a distinct visual aesthetic that complements its powerful acoustic performance.
Engineered to handle high-volume playing without losing clarity, the AD4 hi-hats deliver crisp stick articulation, high projection, and a hard-cutting, energetic "chick" sound when played with the foot pedal. Their wide-blade traditional finish, mid-bright timbre, and long sustain make them a versatile choice for progressive drumming, fusion, rock, pop, R&B, and studio environments.
