About This Listing
Mel Lewis could drive a big band, or a small group, with a fire that few drummers have been able to emulate. Originally created especially for his live performances, these tribute cymbals have highly versatile perspective ranging from small jazz settings to nostalgic big band sounds. Crash Rides offer the best of both worlds in ride and crash characteristics, display smooth overtones with plenty of stick attack for riding, when used as a crash the attack is warm, respond quickly and expansively with a dark swell underneath initial crash sound and subtle with no irritating high frequencies. Rides produce dark wash of subtle overtones along with a solid stick definition that cuts, their diversity of tones allow for driving ride action along with warm, trashy crash accents with minimal overtone build up. Hats exhibit a soft silvery tone, have excellent stick definition and plenty of tight chick sound when played with the foot.
Istanbul Agop cymbals have ONE year warranty against manufacturing flaws, starting from date of the purchase made from Cymbal House which is the authorized dealer of Istanbul Agop.
