A vintage-style ride cymbal which produces a semi-dry, traditional tone and a warm sustain.
The Nostalgia '50s Ride by Istanbul Mehmet is a throwback cymbal hand-crafted in the traditional Turkish style and delivers an excellent vintage sound reminiscent of the legendary 50's Turkish jazz ride. This weighty cymbal produces a darker yet fresh tone with a woody stick definition. Additionally, the cymbal offers a bigger and sharper bell than those of the 70's, while sporting an umbrella type profile.
