Absolutely gorgeous 20” right here.
- This is one of my favorite newer cymbals. This Black Sea Series is like a slightly smoother, more refined TURK. And it’s stunning looking - black and gold with crimson emblem.
- Like a TURK meets a Paiste Dark Dry Ride. That’s the vibe. And that’s exactly why I love it.
- Not an easy cymbal to come by outside of a random stock photo but definitely worth the search. Fortunately, you don’t have to because I have this one and it sounds incredible.

Looks very close to the elusive Paiste Dark Energy Dark Dry Ride.
- Tempestuous, RAW, unlathed, heavily Hand Hammered earthen black/gold/appearance, newer series, Istanbul Mehmet 20” Black Sea Ride.
- Circular hand hammering throughout. Antique look and Old World tone - this particular beauty sounds like a Dry Istanbul K from the 1940s.
- Dry, dark, smoky, very organic tone with a bit more cleaner stick and wash than a Turk Ride or Sultan.
- Almost seems to have an ounce of Paiste in it, but to be honest, Paiste wishes they could be this organic!
- 2079 grams. Thinner weight but still enough tension to yield great attack. Medium low profile, solid bell - better than the Turk, exotic, dark, brooding, organic with an ounce of refinement.
- And definitely crashable.
- One of the nicer dark, DRY cymbals around - no issues. Immaculate condition although it looks like it just came back from Poseidon’s basement, which I love.
- Hard to find. Incredible 20” that makes a statement.
