Details: -Turkish Cymbals Classic series -Hand Cast, Hand Hammered, Hand Lathed. Clear, cutting bell. Cymbal sound is warm with a dark tone and has a good blend of ping & shimmer. Immediate stick response. For centuries, cymbals have been made in artisan workshops in Istanbul, Turkey, the acknowleged home of quality cymbal making. Cymbal alloys (most notably B20 alloys) have secret recipes passed through generations and each Turkish Cymbal is hand cast, rolled whilst hot, hammered by skilled artisans and tested to give the unique sound the Turkish Cymbals have, before being finished on a lathe. Only by hand making can the cymbal be worthy of a top-flight drummer. Each cymbal has its own individual overtones and "DNA", whilst being broadly similar to its brothers. Your sound is unique with Turkish Cymbals. Probably the finest cymbals on the planet.
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.
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.
