Just bought a set of these, as I always wanted a complete matching of cymbals from one of the traditional artisan producers, previously beyond my financial reach. This review was so helpful, I've viewed it many times now, hearing a great set of beautiful quality cymbals, which look like terrific value for money. My wife gifted me these for my birthday, the package is here and I'm so very excited but have to wait until my birthday, in October! I might sneak a cheeky look, when she's distracted, but after she's opened the package to check the contents for me.

Since I own this cymbal set, I can verify this review being very true to my reality. The observation about the darker 16 and ride-able 18 inch crash, the hi hat slosh and stick definition, the ride ping and crash-ability all are my exact experiences with my set. And I can indeed use them for a variety of styles, so far from motown to metal. Love the cymbals. and excellent review!

I have an Istanbul xist thin 17” crash and I love it.
I have cymbals that cost 3X more yet it’s still my favourite cymbal I’ve played can’t recommend them enough great review!

As ever, I love the practical, comprehensive, and valuable information you guys pack into your reviews. I never purchase a drum or cymbal without first checking to see what you thought of them. Thank you!

Sounds like the Zildjian As from the mid 80s early 90s. 🔌🔥

These sound meatier in person, got a set 2nd hand and it feels like great quality. Nice weighted bottom hats. I tested it side-by-side with a nice avedis and the sound is pretty comparable.

Notation of those fills in the intro would be lovely, thanks!
