- Imagine a Zildjian K Constantinople Thin Low had a one night stand with a Crash of Doom...but the baby was hand hammered.
- Viola!!
-
That's the vibe of this elusive, wonderfully dark and complex 22” Istanbul.
- No need to guess at your cymbals! Have a listen to this exact cymbal!
- 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 no where near $600!
- Also you can see the inside 17” are UNLATHED like a Turk Series, and the outer 6” are fully pin-point lathed and golden!
- A dark, HUGE, thin 22”! Beautiful hand 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 2480 grams this Mehmet plays like an ULTRA COMPLEX THIN Crash Ride or THIN Ride.
- The craftsmanship is gorgeous - there are very deep, BIG hammer marks all over the surface - similar to the Special Dry Ride.
- 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. Wonderfully warm. 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 smoother.
- And it's ACTUALLY Hand Hammered!
- Immaculate condition in the bag. Perfect. Extremely hard to find. A glowing and gorgeous hand made 22” that’s a sonic steal at this price!
