I'd definitely play those cymbals and decide whether or not YOU like them. Those are definitely some heavy cymbals, which is not the norm with Bosphorus stuff. Everyone has their own opinion on what...
You got a great deal on those! Have you gotten the NO ride yet? I've been wanting to play one of the rides forever now, but have only heard the crashes in person. Give us a review when you get it.
Nice little setup you scored Scottie, welcome to the Bosphorus club! Bosphorus is definitely a different animal than the big 3, it can certainly take a little time to get used to the complexity. I...
Indeed he does... by the way I'm thoroughly enjoying the Fat Hats. Nice and crisp when closed yet light and trashy with nice sizzle when slightly opened. Excellent hats for jazz or funk. They are a...
I've heard great reviews about the wide ride, though I haven't had the chance to play one. I like the wide lathing on the bottom of the Stanton cymbals, like a mix between the New Orleans series and...
Well, I couldn't get the seller to budge on the Master hats, but I found a nice deal and pulled the trigger on some Stanton Moore Fat Hats :dancing:. I'll be sure to post pics and a review when they...
Thanks Slade, just what I needed to know, now if I can only get the seller to come down a bit on his price...
Has anyone tried the Master series hats? I'm selling my Turks to my drum teacher who has a full set of Turk series minus the hats. I found the fully unlathed cymbals to be a tad dry for my taste, my...
I agree 100%
Very cool Chick, congrats! Lets see some pics!
I agree, I sometimes wish that I had the option of rivets, infact I'm probably going to add a 21" or 22" ride with rivets, I'd really like to add a Turk Flat ride with 3 rivets. You can get a package...
I found this one on craigslist and got the seller to ship it for me, not sure if he had it up on ebay or not. I got a pretty smokin deal on it :icon_mrgreen:. Should arrive tomorrow, will give a...
A little more Turkish eye candy, just purchased this 16" Turk Series "Paper Thin" Crash :) 900grams.

I agree EM, the Turks really know what they are doing when it comes to cymbals.
I purchased these hats this weekend for a good deal on feebay. They are 14" Turk Series Dark hats. They ship out today, very excited to get them!

Cool thats what I needed to know, thanks. Wow a 1360g 21" is crazy light, I think my ride is around 2100g and it seems pretty thin to me maybe med/thin. Bet it swings like no other!
Stack, that Vintage ride is spectacular! How is the ping on it? I'm looking at eventually adding a heavier Turk ride to get a bit more ping for songs that require it, seems like the unlathed would be...
[QUOTE=Exotic Matter;251371]Well, I finally got my hands on a Bosphorus cymbal. I am thoroughly amazed. I've probably owned 100 cymbals in my life and this is definitely one of the best. The only...
I used to have a 20" antique series ride, had a beautiful sound to it, very controlled sticking, kind of pingy with a little bit of wash.
They have quite a few different lines for all genres, they are mostly known by jazz drummers as they are all hand hammered in the traditional Turkish way like the old vintage Ks they used in the...
Here is a Bosphorus ride cymbal I picked up a couple weeks ago, just now getting around to posting some pictures. This is a 20" Original Ride. It is on the thin side, very dark, beautiful wash, and...
I haven't ever played the Stanton line, but all the Bosphorus cymbals I have played have been a cut above anything else. They are like vintage Ks. Stanton is the man though, Galactic is one of my...
