- HERE'S A MASSIVE, RARE, 24" TO CELEBRATE 61 YEARS OF MEHMET CYMBAL CRAFT. That's the man Mehmet, not the company Mehmet.
- DARK and DRY and SUPER ORGANIC. I will say that, in all those 61 years Mehmet learned how to make a great dark and smooth sounding cymbal.
- This Rare 24” is wonderfully organic and infinitely darker and more musical than the machine made K Cons. And it has this refined SMOOTHNESS to it too.
- Gloriously UNLATHED, HEAVILY HAND HAMMERED, and DARK only 2786 gram Istanbul Mehmet 61st Anniversary VINTAGE 24" Ride in immaculate condition.
- Exquisite craftsmanship on this 24". The plain of the cymbal has a gorgeous hand hammered wavy appearance-like a Vintage Zildjian of yore, hell, a Zildjian of 61 years ago. But, it is fully unlathed like a modern Turk.
- Wonderfully thin 2786 grams.
- Plays like a Dry Dark/Light Organic Crash Ride. All of that Hand Hammering gives it a hint of complexity underneath that attack. The stick attack is prominent but subtle-this beauty is mellow and has an overall fast decay. The pitch is medium low to low.
- It’s like a smoother, more refined, mellow Turk Ride. Like you kept the dry, darkness and warmth of the Turk but scooped out some of the nastiness.
- EASILY CRASHABLE.
- 2786 grams is pretty thin on 2 foot cymbal.
- Mellow Left Side Ride. Thin Main Ride. Big Smooth Dark Crash, whatever you decide this Mehmet is a WORKHORSE Cymbal.
- Great candidate for rivets.
- Very rare. It’s one of the best cymbals Istanbul makes. It’s the kind of sound that stays with you even after you stop playing.
