- Fantastic sounding 18” right here! And you very find this beauty!
- Complex and exotic sounding China Swish with a unique finish. This is what you wished Zildjian made - mellower than most Zildjian Chinas. And it’s a hell of a lot less money too.
- Absolutely gorgeous Wide Flange Istanbul Mehmet El Negro 18” CHINA SWISH.
-
And this beauty is fairly THIN. Only 1164 grams.
- Gloriously Complex with a rounded-over Swish style bell and deep Hand Hammering throughout.
- The top side is fully lathed like a Traditional series however the underside has a unique and stunning BRUSH style lathe - like a Sabian RADIA series and balances out the traditional warmth with a more organic complexity.
- The underside of the bell is raw and unlathed. The craftsmanship on this 18” is beautiful.
- Handcrafted in the Old World style and that’s exactly what gives it that beautiful dark and MELLOW complexity.
- This unique 18” combines a wonderfully exotic attack that opens quickly into an organic complexity with a brilliant shimmering wash but decays medium fast - like a Classic China.
-
Mellow and warm when played lightly. Medium low-pitched for an 18” and fast.
- Can be used as a smaller alternate effects ride or Swish. Can even be a large stacker cymbal or bottom hihat.
- Has no problem cutting but is not a clanker!
- Kicks a Zildjian’s ass. It’s a 18” that’s actually complex and exotic sounding but REMAINS MELLOW.
- No issues. Immaculate condition. Played for the video and that’s about it.
- A unique Istanbul that’s wonderfully exotic in look and tone.
