The 21″ Istanbul Agop Mel Lewis Ride Cymbal with Rivets is dark, warm, buttery with a woody stick definition. A true classic sound. Each Turkish cymbal is a work of art hand-crafted individually by the cymbalsmith. Variations in color, hammer marks, lathing, labels, etc., are all enhancements that add to the natural beauty, sound, and unique quality of these one-of-a-kind cymbals.
