Key Features
The Istanbul Mehmet Turk 18'' Medium Ride Cymbal is a high-quality ride cymbal from Istanbul Mehmet, featuring a raw, natural aesthetic that matches the tone from the cymbal perfectly. All the cymbals from the Turk series feature a natural, unlathed appearance that clearly shows every hammer mark, showing off the time and effort that was put into the construction process. The ride delivers a dark, dry, woody tone, yet still provides access to a wide range of low overtones with a reasonably short sustain, which can be implemented into a wide range of drumming styles and genres, but excels in rock and jazz.

Istanbul Mehmet offer a range of Turk cymbals, available in a variety of styles and sizes so that you can select the perfect cymbals for your setup. All Turk series cymbals are fully unlathed, both top and bottom, which contributes to the uniquely dry, woody tone that these cymbals produce. The hand hammering marks also add to the stunning design and finish that each Turk series cymbal has. Due to their dry, raw, woody tone with a short sustain, Istanbul Mehmet Turk cymbals are perfectly suited to rock and jazz, however, they can perform above and beyond everywhere in between.
