Istanbul Agop's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Striking the ride with stick tips yields a loud, high-pitched ping, rapidly reinforced by a pleasing, robust underlying hum which steadily builds but retains its composure, never blooming to a peak - always a good attribute to find in a ride.
To check out the longevity, one final strike provides us with a lasting overtone which pulses and whirrs its multifaceted waves before eventually dissolving away. A 5B shoulder laid across the bell shows its decisive side, making it ideal for lifting a chorus, solo or the bridge of a song perhaps.
Even with a hard clout on the bow or a sideways shoulder slice, it’s impossible to make this ride ‘crash’ - the upshot of this is that we are in complete control of every stroke. The 20" is a lush ride where the overall sound is bright and surprisingly complex given the less hands-on manufacturing methods.
What’s more, this cymbal is not genre dependant. It would be suitable for almost any type of music; rock, pop and jazz included. This is an impressive cymbal that has whet our appetite for more, and we wouldn’t mind trying the 22" model too. "
