HUGE 24” ISTANBUL Mehmet BRILLIANT Thin Ride 2759 g CRASH! Incredible Dark Shimmer! RARE
ONE OF my FAVORITE 2 FOOTERS!! And I have only seen one other!
Imagine a 80s Zildjian K but actually Hand Hammered and in a 24”. Ultra luscious and lush with a Brilliant 80s K style SHIMMER. The kind you dream of!
2759 puts this Rare Istanbul at a perfect Medium Thin. It plays like a great Multi-Application Cymbal - crashes exquisitely with a lush and dark shimmer, then pulls up on a dime to make a gorgeous 24” LIGHT RIDE! Factory dubbed “Thin Ride” it easily occupies many positions on a kit.
So lush it could even be a Suspended Cymbal for orchestra. It’s that full and gorgeous sounding.
Can go on any and every gig because of its wide dynamic range and versatility.
A terrific piece to have in a studio because it records well and can find its way on any song.
Amazing condition with a very light patina. One of only two I’ve ever seen. Recorded for the video and that’s it.
