Here’s an incredible cymbal! I have only seen one or two others in the controlled, 18” size.
This is one of the darkest, most beautiful Flat Rides I've heard. These things are very hard to find, especially in this size.
This is one of my favorite Sleeper Cymbals out there because no big company offers a Flat Ride like this today.
As you may know, the absence of a Bell reigns in a cymbal's overtones and volume, and that is exactly the case of this two-dimensional wonder. Where this Vezir separates from the pack is the darkness and low brooding-ness of it - but it does still remain focused, and that is not an easy combination to find.
1607 grams.
Golden lathed Traditional Style top, gorgeous, blackened, copper, Turk style underside - which dries out and beefs up the definition on this Flat
This being the elusive 18” it’s even more responsive and controlled with a lightning-fast decay. Extremely fast and controlled with a quick response.
Immaculate condition. Throughout the decades, there have been many famous Flat Rides, but I've never heard an 18” this dark.
