I already own two crashes from Mehteran's Valentino series. Since I absolutely loved their sound, I ordered a matching ride. It really has exactly the sound I was looking for, and it goes perfectly with the crashes. The three cymbals harmonize perfectly with each other.

Outstanding quality and sound
The Bosphorus 21" Philly Ride is of outstanding build quality. The sound is absolutely authentic. I would describe it as warm with excellent stick articulation. Thanks to the single rivet, it has a very pleasant wash that never becomes too overpowering.

Incredible build quality
The 19" Valentino Crash sounds exactly as I imagined it would. The build quality is beyond reproach. It also pairs perfectly with the 17" Valentino Crash, which I also purchased. Both are tonally perfectly matched. I’ve experienced this same effect before when I bought two Mehteran cymbals from the Ayasofya series here. It’s hard to believe you can get this kind of quality at such a great price.

FX crash, trash crash, ozone crash — whatever you call it, I think this version in Agean's Beast line is one of the best and most versatile I've heard. It's cutting and robust, not too airy or quick, but still with the drier, earthier tone that its gorgeous finish (sort of a cross between natural and traditional) implies. Good weight, feels durable. Another unique and exceptional-sounding cymbal from Agean.
An excellent china from Agean with a rich, pleasing tone and a striking finish. The cymbal I received is on the thicker side, so the pitch is relatively high, but its extensive hammering moderates the volume and harshness. A fantastic china for pretty much any genre except metal (you'll need something louder, with more lathing and less hammering, to cut through such high-gain instruments). The whole Stoned line has been nothing but winners in my book.
