- Everyone knows what this is…the cymbal cymbal-makers have been trying to make for eons. Signed under the bell!
- And this one is very Tony Williams - esque! Amazing, dry stick attack. Tony played a heavy Istanbul K - that is how he got such fantastic dry definition and articulation.
-
I’ll keep it simple:
Wonderfully DARK AND DRY sounding yet still crashable 22” REAL DEAL Vintage Zildjian handcrafted at the Turkish Zildjian ISTANBUL K Factory over half a century ago.
- Exceptionally organic sounding with a natural, shadow of a smoky wash. Dry with that inimitable Old World subtle complexity.
- Crashes exquisitely - especially considering how strong the definition is.
-
2997 grams gives this 22” one of the best straight-up stick attacks while the ripples of Hand Hammering fan throughout the entire plain.
- Plays like the perfect Medium Thin to Medium Dry Complex Ride - it has enough heft to give it a very pronounced stick attack that has an organic, subtle light liveliness to it.
- Again, very Tony Williams styled stick definition with a dark, subtle Hand Hammered afterglow.
- Beautifully sculpted profile that ends with a pronounced tapered edge that invites that billowing crash - and that’s a beautiful thing on a 22”.
- 5.5” bell is solid.
- Stunning golden brown patina has built up over the last half-century and dries this K out beautifully.
- Amazing shape. Hand made. Glorious.
- As nice a piece as you will see.
- Thinking of starting a cymbal company - start with this.
- This Istanbul K 22” is to be celebrated for its history, cultural musical significance, artistry, and its sound.
- Forged in Turkey, it’s been making music for the last half-a-century and has much more to say.
- When perched on your kit, you don’t walk by…you sit down…and take one moment longer.
