Simply a stunningly beautiful pair of old Turkish made Hi-Hats. The top and bottom cymbal are perfectly nested from a lifetime of playing. The chick is gorgeous, the stick sound...sublime.
But the cymbal masters at Istanbul Mehmet were not to be daunted and the replica Hi-Hats were, in fact, the first of the models to be approved.
Available 14",15-inch
Details: "There ain’t but one Tony Williams when it comes to playing the drums. There was nobody like him before or since.’’ Miles Davis"
 Created as faithful replicas of the now iconic cymbals made famous by Tony Williams on the recordings of the 60s era Miles Davis Quintet.
 When Miles Davis invited the 17-year-old Tony Williams to join his new Quintet, jazz drumming would never be the same. Tony set a new standard with his playing and cymbals. The Istanbul Mehmet Company was granted exclusive access to the very same cymbals, made in Istanbul in the late 50s, which were used by Tony Williams on the Miles Davis Quintet's historic recordings.
 Hand-carried to Istanbul by Colleen Williams, Tony's wife, great attention to detail was paid during their creation, with every aspect of the cymbals being scrupulously measured, weighed, gauged and factored to ensure that the new, handmade cymbals be as close in sound as possible to the originals. Istanbul Mehmet drew from their rich archives the original and now antique cup dies, the actual dies used to form the bells on the originals, and used them in order to perfectly recreate the bell shapes on the tribute models.
 The set consists of a 22" ride with legendary dry, clean stick articulation and orchestral, dark overtones. The 14" hi-hats produce a gorgeous "chick" sound and sublime, signature stick articulation. An 18" crash delivers warm, fast attack and features a signature crack that acts as a built-in "attenuator" to accelerate decay.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Communication was excellent, every request was handled with care, and they genuinely went above and beyond throughout the entire order. Shipping was quick, and the cymbals arrived beautifully packed and in perfect condition. They look and sound amazing, and the thoughtful extra surprise made it even more special. Exceptional product and exceptional service. Thank you, Istanbul Mehmet!

Best Splashes ever
I already own the AllaTurca 8" Trio Hat Stack and I absolutely love it. My two dual-sensitivity splashes are very impressive—they’re beautifully crafted—but what really blows me away is the sound—they respond to the slightest touch. I’d also like to praise the professional service from Sounds Anatolian—highly recommended!

Fantastic cymbal.
Great for smaller or lower dynamic set ups, including hand percussion and acoustic music. Great sound and very unique.
It's good ride. the ping is present, but not too dry. The bell also. I often play jazz with, but the ride can offer all range from calypso to samba, ... I have to play it more to be able to explore all irs capabilities ... Thanks
Lovely cymbal. I have not really used the rivets. The cymbal itself has the distinctive Bosphorus complex wash as well as great stick definition. It is pretty loud compared to the Masters or Black Pearl series. Nice bell.
