Istanbul Agop 19" Mel Lewis Crash Ride

Introduced as an homage to the legendary jazz drummer and band leader, the Mel Lewis Signature series encapsulates the rich, warm character of Turkish cymbals from the early 20th century. The series was modeled directly after Lewis's personal cymbals, which were flown to Istanbul and used as reference for development after his death in 1990. It is described as having dry crash qualities, and clear stick definition with subtle dark overtones.
