Really nice allround Crash
DB5002 15.04.2017
I enjoy playing my 18" "Traditional Dark Crash" very much. It feels very musical to me. Its sound is medium bright and not as aggressive as for example my Paiste 2002s. I use it in combination with a 18" "Turk" Crash which of course sounds much dryer and darker. Because of its medium weight I can play it in a very dynamic way. Even though I use it in a Rock/Metal Band I can cut through the guitars but still play relatively quiet and this way not destroy the ears of my bandmates in the rehearsal room. If you really hit hard it might not be the perfect choice.
I think the cymbal also works great in basically every other (pop) musical environment, from Jazz to Blues, Funk, unplugged surroundings or standard Rock/Pop.

I Like it very much and would buy it again.
But of course, because it is to a large degree handmade you should be aware of the fact that every specimen will sound a little bit different and should be checked out individually.
I feel this is generally the case with Istanbul cymbals.
But I don't mean that in a bad way :-)

CHAUDE ET POLYVALENTE

N'ayant pas les moyens de m'acheter des Zildjian K, je cherchais des cymbales abordables de qualité avec un son chaud et pas criard, cette Dark crash de 18" est une excellente surprise. Suffisamment percussive sans être assourdissante (dans un contexte Jazz, Funk, Pop, Rock), je pense commander rapidement sa petite soeur (17").

Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

Das Becken klingt schön warm, genau wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe. Ich benutze das Becken im jazzigen Bereich auch als Crash/Ride-Becken.
Eine Hörprobe im Bigband Kontext gibt es hier (bitte Kopfhörer oder gute Lautsprecher benutzen). Das Istanbul Mehmet 18" Dark Crash Traditional ist auf meiner linken Spielseite (vom Publikum aus rechts):

Great sounding crash

This is great and versatile 18" crash cymbal. Dark sounding, but has still potential to cut through loud music.
