Istanbul Mehmet 18" Medium Ride Turk Series Reviews

Good, But know what youre buying

Its what you would expect from a dry cymbal, its got great stick definition, but i dont think you would use it as a ride. This is a great cymbal for jazz or light music, as it is very thin sounding with very little wash, you will not find it loud when playing with a full band, that maybe a good or a bad thing depending what you want.

I use it in a wedding band so the volume of the band is high, in this case for me its more of a effects cymbal like a china however its not as intrusive, the initial attack is strong but it fades away quickly . Its lovely for accents.

Im glad i bought it, its nice to have in the arsenal for different situations, and as value for money its very good for what you pay.
