Istanbul Agop's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "For the test, we had hi-hat cymbals in 15" and 17" as well as generous crashes in 19", 21", and 22". The latter quickly produce a deep, rich rumble that is available in all its glory in no time. Despite their dryness and due to their size, the cymbals certainly have a powerful volume potential, if you really coax it out. However, they sound anything but aggressive. Across the entire dynamic range, they are characterized by their bone-dry, yet not hoarse character and thus fade away quite quickly. Of course, both the 21" and the 22" crash are also suitable as subtle ride cymbals, although the volume shouldn't be too high. Sounds with mallets and the like are an absolute delight."
