- Very hard to find Hihats right here: the SULTANS in 13s”.
- Gorgeous Hand Hammered Sultan Hihats from the company that kicked it all off 4 decades ago.
- Dont waste time and money on guesses! Have a listen to this exact pair so you can buy with confidence. Hell you hardly ever find these out there - especially not where you can hear them.
- FAMOUS ISTANBUL Mehmet Hand Hammered Sultans - Istanbul had been making these before ANYONE had seen this kind of craftsmanship and beauty. This is THE company that ushered in the old world craftsmanship - the kind of artistry that fomented a movement of boutique cymbalsmiths.
- Istanbul’s old-world Zildjian Istanbul K-styled handiwork attracted the ears and signatures of jazz greats Mel Lewis and Elvin Jones. Istanbul ushered in what has now become a standard in Hybrids and Duos. These guys were first.
- And the legacy continues with this mint pair of Sultans.
- What's great about these specific Istanbul Mehmet Sultans is that they posses a very crisp and tight focused attack when closed, they have a hint of DARKNESS and you can hear that famous Hand Hammered complexity. You hear that Old World airiness that turned heads decades ago. Open them up and you get a wonderful Hand Hammered sibilance but just for a moment. They remain smooth and controlled. Fantastic chick when played with your foot.
- 896 and 1010 grams. Crisp and cutting but also DARK and VERY RESPONSIVE and quick - they have the 13” great feel that make 14s feel sluggish.
- Fairly DRY and focused stick attack, compliments of the raw, unlathed rings. Subtle Turkish wash that breathes life into a pattern but still remains controlled.
- Very musical with a broad dynamic range.
- Perfect for soft to loud and for anytime you want to play something with soul.
- Immaculate shape. Made famous decades ago. And the series sounds amazing today.
- Nearly impossible to find in the Quick 13s”
