  • Here’s an incredible sounding DARK CRASH - one of the nicest I have.  Dark, full but but still bendable and pliable. 

  • Have a listen so you can buy with confidence knowing what you’ll get - this exact cymbal. This is a Zildjian K assassin and it a very hard to find factory “THIN CRASH.”  
  • Immaculate condition Istanbul Mehmet Sultan Crash 18” THIN CRASH weighing in at a THIN 1342 grams. 

  •  As you can see, this beautiful Sultan has a hand hammered unlathed bell feeding into a lathed 2.5" section, into an unlathed 3.5” 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 1608 grams, this 18” Thin Istanbul plays like a great semi-dry, semi-complex sounding Dark Thin Crash.  It’s bendable and has a softness to the metal.  

  • The edges blur when struck - like a thinner cymbal. 

  • 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.  

  • Don’t guess at your next purchase. Hear this one so you can buy with confidence.  
  • Immaculate condition. No issues. Only played for the video. 

  • A steal next to a machine hammered $415 Zildjian K.
