    Talking Istanbul Empire Hats

    I've unintentionally purchased a pair years ago (I was supposed to end up with Vezirs...but the seller packed a pair in the parcel by mistake.)

    But you know what? These cymbals have grown on me...and I'm pretty happy with them now.

    My view: Dry and Cutting

    How about you? I'm interested to hear your Empire Story (even if you don't own one!)

    [15 October Update and Edit: The original links I had put up when I posted were on multiply --- and since multiply no longer exists, I'll be putting up new ones on YouTube --- send me a note, and I'll send you the link of the video once it is.]

    very cool pictures, and sound clips. your a good musician! those hats look amazing, like something custom made. they do sound very cutting as 13" hats should. Istanbul makes very good products, i have never heard any that i didn't like. thanks for posting!!

    Hi Jerry,

    Thanks for taking the time to listen to those sound clips! I appreciate the kind words.

    - Leigh

    P.S.

    (Just to spare anyone thinking of buying a pair...a slight surprise. I would like to mention the bottom bits of each of the hats are unlathed...so...not that stunning compared to the top -- I'll try to dig through my archives to find pictures.)
