  • Here’s a wonderfully Hand Hammered 16” that can do a lot around the kit. 

  • And it’s a hard to find Factory “THIN CRASH.” Don’t guess at tone!  Listen to this exact Crash so you can buy with confidence.  

  • Immaculate Bosphorus Antique Series 16” Thin Crash.  Many people know this series to be the Sultan Series - that’s the vibe. And it’s a Zildjian K killer. This one is actually made by hand! 

  • As you can see, this Thin 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 control of a TURK COMBINED with the warmer glow and wash of a lathed Bosphorus Traditional Series.

  • With a thin weight of ONLY 970 grams, this 16” Bosphorus Antique plays like a beautiful PAPER THIN or FAST CRASH. 

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

  • And it’s QUICK! 

  • Bendable edges give it a great swelling response but it has plenty of tension to be a very small Light Ride.  

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

  • Great main crash in a small setup or perfect Fast Crash on a larger setup. 

  • Definitely mic friendly - as you can hear! 

  • No issues.  Only played for the video! 

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