- Ultra Warm and glowing MELLOW Istanbuls…IN FIFTEENS!
- You never see these! And this pair you can actually hear so you can buy with confidence.
- These Legend Hihats were formerly called the Mel Lewis Hihats back when Agop and Mehmet played nice together.
- This is the series that catapulted ISTANBUL to stardom some 30 years ago. The other series are great but in those early years, the Mel Lewis Series was what everyone talked about. They’re …well…
- ….legendary.
- Super warm and DARK with a light and lively complexity that is far from trashy, these big 15s” are MELLOW, some of the mellowist hihats you may hear.
- They have a great golden glow to them with an ultra-warm, semi-low to low pitch. The tone is reminiscent of 70-year-old Istanbul Ks. Mellow but with a nice attack in there.
-
A perfect 1114 and 1334 grams, they play like Thin to Medium Thin Light hats with a nice old-world hand-hammered breathiness. Right in between Thin and Medium Thin.
- They have a hearty splash when opened while maintaining a vintage-sounding CHICK.
-
Warm. Dark. Low pitched. Incredibly mellow with a golden glow. Great cutting attack that is euphonic and smooth.
- Massive 15s” that you can lay down fat grooves with.
- No big company makes anything this mellow.
- No issues. Perfect shape! Not easy to actually find outside a pointless stock photo.
