Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals TW-C18 Tony Williams Crash 18"

The Istanbul Tony Williams Tribute Crash 18" is a Turkish-made Tony Williams cymbal crafted from B20 bronze alloy that is hand-hammered with a traditional finish. Istanbul have now released a range of replica cymbals, reproducing the original models that revolutionised the drumming style of the famous Tony Williams. The crash has a crack in the body and a smaller crack at the edge, acting as a built-in ‘attenuator’ thereby accelerating the decay of the crash. These sonic characteristics have been replicated through a careful combination of additional hammering and specific lathing.
