Istanbul Agop's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Cindy Blackman previously had a 22" Om ride and this expanded 24" is in dark bronze with deep black lathing grooves, irregular hammering both sides, plus a low profile, unhammered bell.
As a lifetime admirer of Tony Williams, Cindy Blackman-Santana's 'Om' ride reflects the deep and yet attacking dry ride of that much-missed innovator.
As well as growing by 2" it is "a little heavier with a larger bell for increased stick definition, but otherwise retains the tone and profile of the earlier 22" signature".This is warmer than Matt's cymbal but not as mellow as the Anniversary. This time the bell really pings out, contrasting nicely with the body, which is dusky yet lively all over.
The crash sustains rather more than Matt's, and is warmer. Stick definition is always crisp, despite the big wash. It's the pick of the trio for us - at home in more traditional jazzy-bluesy- fusiony-Latiny scenes, while Matt's is perhaps more cutting edge, harder and left-field."
