Istanbul AGOP TURK Flat Ride 20” at a THIN 1795 g DARK Dry Very Controlled! Amazing Organic FLAT!

Absolute beauty right here! And a THIN one too. And most importantly, you can HEAR this exact cymbal.
No big company makes this one. And this isn’t exactly the easiest cymbal to find either.

This is the kind of beauty that really put Istanbul in the map -  BECAUSE no big company made this.

Amazing, DRY, extremely responsive, organic Istanbul AGOP 20” Flat Ride with a slight shadow of breathiness.

Classic TURK craftsmanship - raw, unlathed, heavily Hand Hammered throughout!
The absence of a bell gives flat rides a controlled, focused tone with a fantastic stick attack.

And that is exactly what we have with this 1795 gram beauty!

Very tight, pin-point, prominent stick articulation with a very organic, raw wash that lasts but a moment. A pinch of complexity.

Not your average Flat Ride! A thin Turk.
This harder to find 20” is all about articulation. Indeed it is dry.

Crash on it for a desert-lightening-like effects crash.
Perfect for very low to medium, medium loud settings.  Amazing under the mic.

No issues. Extremely clean. Still looks 2000 years old.
