Istanbul Mehmet offer a range of Traditional cymbals, available in a variety of styles and sizes so that you can select the perfect cymbals for your setup. All Traditional cymbals are fully lathed, both top and bottom, which contributes to the rich tone that the cymbals produce. The lathe marks also add to the stunning design and finish that each Traditional series cymbals all acquire. Due to their sonic versatility, Istanbul Mehmet Traditional cymbals are suitable for any drumming style and genre.
The Istanbul cymbal name was established by two craftspeople named Mehmet Tamdeger and Agop Tomurcuk. With over three decades of cymbal-making experience, the two named their company after one of the homes of high-quality cymbal craftsmanship. Many of their original cymbals are now collectors' items but the new range is accessible for modern drummers to add to their set-up. These cymbals are still hand crafted in Istanbul, Turkey following the history and traditions that stem back to the early 17th century.
