Istanbul Mehmet Nostalgia 70´S Ride Cymbal

Product Description

The Nostalgia 70´S Ride is a ride cymbal from Istanbul Mehmet, made for jazz drummers looking for the sound of old vintage jazz cymbals rather than a modern, bright tone. It's built on traditional Turkish cymbal craftsmanship, aiming for a character rooted in classic cymbal making.

Istanbul Mehmet is one of the most respected names in handcrafted cymbals. Cymbal makers from Turkey have supplied drummers worldwide with high-quality cymbals since the 1800s, and the brand is associated with hands-on craftsmanship rather than large-scale, machine-driven production. The Nostalgia series carries that heritage forward: cymbals designed for players who want to get closer to the sound associated with older jazz cymbals, with a more complex, less polished character than many modern cymbals.

As a ride, it's meant to sit in the pocket of your comping with a tone intended to feel warm and nostalgic rather than sharp and modern. The series is available in several versions, so you can pick the one that best suits your sound and playing style.

Who It's For

A good fit if you play jazz or other acoustic genres and want a ride cymbal rooted in classic, handcrafted cymbal making rather than a modern studio sound.
