The Istanbul cymbal name was established by two craftspeople named Mehmet Tamdeger and Agop Tomurcuk. with over three decades of cymbal-making experience, the two named their company after one of the homes of high-quality cymbal craftsmanship. Many of their original cymbals are now collectors' items but the latest range is accessible for modern drummers to add to their set-up. These cymbals are still authentically handcrafted in Istanbul, Turkey following the history and traditions that stem back to the early 17th century.
