- Imagine a Zildjian Crash of Doom...but one that really IS Hand Hammered.
- Voila!
- That's the vibe of this elusive, wonderfully dark and complex 21” Istanbul.
- As you can see this Istanbul Mehmet Hamer Warm Ride is similar to the Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Dual Crash or a Sabian but it’s thinner and in a 21”.
- And it’s not $640. Far from it.
- As you can see the inside 15" are UNLATHED like a Turk Series, and the outer 3” are fully pin-point lathed and golden!
- A dark, HUGE, thin 21” beautiful hammering both on the unlathed surface and off, and the edges blur subtly when struck.
-
Mehmet describes this Hamer Warm Ride as:
“Big hammer marks for a trashy effect in addition to the dark and warm traditional Turkish cymbal sound on all HameR models. Combination of hammered and lathed surfaces of split crash, flange crash and a warm ride results in a thinner edge for quick accents."
- And that is accurate.
- Weighing in at a glorious 2224 grams this Mehmet plays like an ULTRA COMPLEX THIN Crash Ride or THIN Ride.
- The craftsmanship is gorgeous - as you can see there is very deep. BIG hammer marks all over the surface.
- The unlathed raw surface emits a great, light stick attack and the lathed outer ring gives it a billowing wash.
- ULTRA dark. COMPLEX. Exceptionally responsive. Played-in vibe even though it's NEW.
- Soft, quick response that opens up with even the lightest touch.
- Exceptionally LOW pitched. Overall very organic and TRASHY - like a Crash of Doom.
- But it's ACTUALLY Hand Hammered and in a 21”.
- Immaculate condition in the bag. Perfect. Extremely hard to find.
