Handmade B20 cymbal from Istanbul from the Hamer series
The Istanbul Hamer Split Crash 18" is a handmade cymbal from Turkey, made from 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 trashiness. 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 their ideal cymbal 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.
