  • Here’s an incredible sounding DARK CRASH - one of the nicest I have. Dark, full but but still bendable and pliable and it has a gorgeous light shimmer to it. 

  • Dont just guess at cymbal tone. Have a listen so you can buy with confidence!! 
  • Immaculate condition Istanbul Mehmet Sultan Factory THIN Crash 17” weighing in at a beautiful 1143 grams. And it’s a Zildjian K killer. 

  •  As you can see, this gorgeous Sultan has a hand hammered unlathed bell feeding into a lathed 2.5" section, into an unlathed 2.5"s, then lathed out the edge.

  •  The result is a cymbal that has all the wonderful light, semi-dry attack of a TURK Series COMBINED with the warmer glow and wash of a lathed Traditional Series.  

  • With a thinner weight of 1143 grams, this 17” Istanbul plays like a great semi-dry, semi-complex sounding Thin to Paper Thin Crash.  It’s factory stamped “THIN CRASH” and it makes good on that promise - it’s easily bendable and has a softness to the metal.  

  • The edges blur when struck. 

  • The attack is strong but the decay is a bit more dry and controlled than a fully lathed cymbal.  And that’s the beauty! 

  • The bendable edges give it a great swelling response but it has plenty of tension to be a smaller Light Ride with a light touch. 

  • Truly Hand Hammered so it has that percolating airy complexity.  

  • Amazing Dark Crash that’s very responsive.  Don’t guess at your next purchase. Hear this one and buy with confidence.  
  • No issues.  Immaculate! Only played for the video. 

  • A steal next to a machine hammered $370 Zildjian K.
