GORGEOUS ISTANBUL Mehmet HYBRID CRASH 18” 1514 g SEMI-DARK & Clean! Perfect Don’t Pay $434!

Want a great 18” Crash? Get this. Guaranteed.

This cymbal DESTROYS the K Custom Zildjian version. Why? Because it’s a perfect HYBRID sound of what you want the Zildjian to be:

Semi-dark.  Bold attack that does not clank. Both high and low overtones present. But CLEAN!

And this Hand Hammered Istanbul NAILS it!  And it’s no where near the $434 the new Zildjian costs.

YOU CAN SEE WHAT SETS THIS HYBRID APART FROM ZILDJIAN'S IS THAT THE BRILLIANT PORTION IS STILL LATHED! Hooray!! Quite beautiful.

Weighing in at a lovely 1514 grams, this Istanbul 18” plays like a great Medium Thin DARK Hybrid Crash.

The tone is slightly dark and overall fairly focused. And the brilliant bell promotes projection, as promised. The pitch is medium to medium low.

Medium dark and focused and with a bit of beefed-up projection that cuts exceptionally well in live settings.  But remains CLEAN under the mic.

Very clean sounding and immaculate condition.

Perfect for absolutely any style.  Has no problem cutting but does not clank its way through life.  

Gorgeous craftsmanship. Killer sound.  And a sonic steal that you can hear before you buy.  No guessing at internet stock photos.
