18" Istanbul Agop Cindy Blackman Santana OM Crash Cymbal

Product Description

An 18-inch crash cymbal from Istanbul Agop, developed together with Cindy Blackman Santana as part of the OM Series. The cymbal is paper thin and built to capture the vibier, more dynamic cymbal sounds from the golden era of jazz.

The Cindy Blackman Santana OM Series was designed in conjunction with Cindy to recreate the classic 60's Turkish sound. Sticking is focused and metallic, sitting on top of a dark, dry wash rather than overwhelming it. The crash itself is thunderous, delivered through the paper-thin construction that gives an explosive attack and a quick decay.

Sound and Feel

The combination of focused, metallic sticking, a dark and dry wash, and a thunderous crash makes this cymbal a natural choice for Jazz, Indie Rock, or any situation calling for that classic 60's Turkish character.

Who It's For

A great pick if you want a signature model with real vintage character rather than a modern, bright cymbal sound. Especially if you play jazz or rock rooted in the older Turkish cymbal tradition.
