- Here’s one of the nicest sounding DARK, organic crashes you will hear. And it’s the only one I’ve ever seen. As far as unlathed crash cymbals go, this one has a fullness but it still retains that famous dry, organic and raw tone with a faster decay. And it makes a killer Light Ride - like amazing.
- This Istanbul sounds like a 60-year-old cymbal - Art Blakey nasty crash vibe. A Night In Tunisia.
- Istanbul Mehmet TURK style ORIGIN DARK Crash 18” in immaculate shape. The Origin Dark is a Turk with a slightly thinner weight and smaller bell.
- These unlathed and raw cymbals have long been one of Agop and Mehmet’s best-selling series. It put them on the map 30 years ago.
- Unlathed. Raw. Heavily Hand Hammered in the classic circular style. This one has gold and sienna hues with raw and blackened accents.
- The result is an absolutely fantastic sounding DARK DRY CRASH that cuts without clanking through life. Full but without clanking.
- Dark and dry but can still cut.
- At 1432 grams it plays like Medium Thin Crash (ad the label says) but it’s darker and lower-pitched than many a K Zildjian and plays a bit thinner than it weighs.
- Actually being Hand Hammered offers a rich, fullness that a machine-made Zildjian can only dream of.
- Smoky decay that is medium fast.
- Easily rideable with a light touch - you could use this cymbal all day as a smaller Dry Ride.
- Perfect for very soft to loud.
- No issues. Amazing shape. A true DARK DRY CRASH. The only one I have, the only one I’ve seen.
