Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals Hamer Flange Crash 18" Natural Finish

The Istanbul Hamer Flange Crash 18" is a handmade cymbal from Turkey, made of B20 bronze. The characteristic feature of the Hamer series from Istanbul are the extra-large hammer marks on the cymbal. The Hamer series from Istanbul gives you the typical warm sound of Turkish drum cymbals, combined with a shorter sustain and a bit more trash factor. The basic sound is warm and balanced, with short sustain and fast response. The Istanbul Hamer Cymbals are available in different finishes, so everyone will find his ideal cymbal sound. The Hamer Flange Crashes are characterized by the coarsely hammered outer edge. The hammer marks are like a ring around the twisted edge of the cymbal and provide the fast response and the slightly dirty, trashy sound.

Manufacturing by hand in Turkey

Like all Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals, the Hamer series is 100% handmade in Turkey. Old tradition meets modern and innovative approaches to achieve the best results. The classic B20 alloy, which is used as standard in most professional cymbal series, is used.
