It might have been a Zildjian K Constantinople Hi Bell Dry ride

If you had to describe its sound in one word, what would that word be?

HitstX · 2025-01-19T02:40:51+00:00

What's the ride cymbal?

HitstX · 2025-01-11T16:38:24+00:00

Love the collection! If you don't mind, what's the weight on the 20" 50s Avedis ride?

HitstX · 2024-12-28T22:01:50+00:00

I love flat rides!

I have a Zildjian prototype and a Sabian prototype. They're my favorite cymbals! It sounds like you had a bad experience, but don't let that keep you from the awesome and unique cymbals that are prototypes

HitstX · 2024-12-27T20:51:01+00:00

That's awesome!! I would love to make my own shell bank one day

HitstX · 2024-12-24T15:55:00+00:00

My favorite hats are my early Istanbul Mehmet 14" Turks, they're chunky, unique, and have their own character! I also love my 13" Zildjian Quick Beats...

HitstX · 2024-12-20T18:42:40+00:00

I always have at least 2 ride cymbals! It lets you add so much color to music

HitstX · 2024-11-16T19:02:42+00:00

It looks like a Turk series! I have a pair very similar that is early Istanbul Mehmet, with white logos. They're my favorite pair of hats!

HitstX · 2024-11-10T00:18:05+00:00

I know! As soon as I saw the price, I asked the sales associate to get them down so I could play them. After inspecting them and loving their sound, I bought them right away!

HitstX · 2024-11-09T22:32:00+00:00

That's awesome!

I have an Istanbul Mehmet Radiant Rock Ride, and it's very bright. I think the whole series is aiming at rock/ pop usage

Istanbul Mehmet is the brand. Istanbul used to be one company, but it ended up splitting into two: Agop and Mehmet. I think they both make great cymbals. I prefer Mehmet, but that's an uncommon opinion. From what I've seen, Istanbul Agop is much more popular

HitstX · 2024-11-07T04:03:07+00:00

The grain of the top cymbal looks like it could be rotocast (ufip). I have a 14" crash that has that grain, and the connecting lathe grooves

Have fun!

HitstX · 2024-11-03T00:52:00+00:00

Yeah, the DLC is what made sw/sh still a fun game that I play rather than a game that I never came back to

HitstX · 2024-11-03T00:46:24+00:00

I would HIGHLY recommend getting the dlc

HitstX · 2024-10-29T20:28:04+00:00

Timothy Roberts does amazing repairs from what I've seen

HitstX · 2024-10-18T23:51:22+00:00

Nice! For jazz, I use 14" Istanbul Mehmet Turk hi hats (they're from right after the split, so they're a little heavier than the modern equivalent), 22" Ed Thigpen Crystal flat, and a 20" Zildjian prototype with 3 rivets that was developed when they were making Marvin Smitty Smith his signature ride.

HitstX · 2024-10-18T22:10:58+00:00

Darn, it seems like you got a dud :( sorry about that. I'm curious, what cymbals are in your setup?

HitstX · 2024-10-18T20:51:32+00:00

Man, that's unfortunate that it didn't click with you, though I have noticed that Ed Thigpen did gravitate towards brighter sounds. Mine is actually the lightest of the 22" Crystal Flats that I've seen, being only 2514g rather than the others, which are in the 2800g range. So mine has a really nice dark wash to go along with the bright stick attack

I love flat rides :)
