- Well as far as modern cymbals go, this one raised the bar for all companies.
- The famous Istanbul AGOP 30th ANNIVERSARY 18” in Amazing Condition!
- Crash. Ride. This beauty can be either or both! This particular one crashes exceptionally well. Have a listen.
- It’s buttery and DARK and complex.
- It’s also slightly DRY with nice organic stick attack but blossoms when struck on the edge.
- Agop has put out many renown series, but this is their flagship and most expensive one, and it shows.
- Hand-shaped bell - reminiscent of the great Istanbul K Zildjians of yore!
- Stunning Hand Hammered plain and wavy surface - looks like this cymbal was made in 1943!!
- At ONLY 1284 grams this particular 18” is a gorgeous blend of DARK COMPLEX with a hint of dryness - the epitome of what this 30th Anniversary Series is known for.
- This is where Istanbul Agop really cracks the riddle of the Sphinx.
- Great fairly dry, organic stick attack followed by that telltale Hand Hammered organic Agop wash. Fairly quick decay - compliments of the thinner weight.
- Being the 18” this 30th is very controlled both in volumes and overtones. And it responds quickly.
- Instantly recognizable GOLDEN HUE with no logos for a completely Vintage Old School look.
- Dark. DRY. Brooding. Organic. Breathy. Old World look, feel and tone. Easily crashable.
- Highs and lows present - broad spread. Quick decay.
- One of the nicest cymbals on the market - and everyone knows it.
- No issues. Looks perfect! Golden hue. Gorgeous.
- A legend in its own time. Collectible. Gorgeous.
