PM!Istanbul Agop Cindy Blackman Signature OM 20 inch Crash 1649g
Developed with Cindy Blackman. As we all know Cindy Blackman's a massive Tony Williams fan, these OM series are heavily influenced by Tony's legendary sound.
Very warm and sophisticated crash sound with right amount of smoky trashy sizzle. Cuts and blends smoothly. Doubles up well as a Left Side Ride with its exquisite stick sound supported by a darkish undertones. Very nice icey bell sound that cuts. A ever-present but non-overpowering wash that speaks just at the right frequency.

Istanbul Agop Trash Hit 20 inch China/Crash/Ride Cymbal 1764g
Mother of all...eats sabian Ozone for breakfast and Zildjian Crash of Doom for lunch.
Superbly complex sound yet it blends well with a perfect balance of trashy sizzle and sophication in its sounds. If you looking for the ultimate effects cymbal and is not just a one trick pony this is it!
Full of character yet practical in all context across genres. Great success with it as a main crash, a effects cymbal and a ride as well! It has a very usable bell with a very warm wash with enough stick definition to be used as a Left Side Ride. Very friendly to mikes in both live and studio settings!

Vintage Avedis Zildjian 1940s 15 inch Hi Hat Cymbals 1377+1368g
Great patina has developed with their age and made them sweeter both in looks and sound. Very nice fat stick sound, semi opened wash a beauty.
The foot chick is even more phenomenal! Buyer will not be dissapointed.
Has a proven track record across genres from the responsiveness jazz trios to epic U2 Tribute gigs to smooth RnB pop covers. Projects well for live and records crisply through studio mikes.
The stamp is 1 1/8", consistent with dating for 30s, 40s and 50s hats (see pic).
