DARK 1/2 LATHE ISTANBUL Mehmet Hamer 16” SPLIT

Here’s an absolutely beautiful Dark Complex FAST CRASH. It has a beautiful subtle organic tone too - compliments of the unlathed and raw bell and interior.
Truly Hand Hammered. And you can tell - this is much more complex than any Zildjian could dream to be. And it’s not $360 like a Meinl Byzance.
Istanbul Mehmet Hamer Series 16” SPLIT Crash in immaculate condition.
A dark, paper thin - beautiful hammering, and the edges blur subtly when struck.
Mehmet describes this Hamer Classic Crash as:
“Big hammer marks for a trashy effect in addition to the dark and warm traditional Turkish cymbal sound on all Hamer models."
As you can see the top inner 12” are unlathed, raw and heavily Hand Hammered like a Turk Cymbal, and the outer 4” is golden, fully lathed.
Big, deep hammer marks for added complexity.
Perfect elixir of dark, complex, organic and warm!
Weighing in at a gloriously THIN 914 grams this Mehmet plays like an ultra dark very complex 16” Fast Crash with a light organic tone.
The tone is very much like a fast Zildjian Crash of Doom! It's actually THAT complex sounding and it's wonderfully LOW PITCHED!
Exceptionally responsive. Played-in vibe even though it's NEW looking.
Soft, quick response that opens up with even the lightest touch. Very fast decay.
Perfect for low to medium loud volumes.
Only played for the video. Perfect. A stunning truly Dark Complex 16” Fast Crash that’s organic and very hard to find.
