It’s pretty wild how many factories exist over there!

So I’m not sure how I forgot to comment on the very episode I’d been asking for. I love Turkish, I picked up a Cap ride I love but still love your prototype the best. Keep the faith homie, hope all is well with you and yours. Can’t wait to see what you have next but take care of yourself first. We’ll be here when you’re ready.

Not 100% sure but always suspected the cymbals I play (the Zultan Caz series from Thomanns in house cymbal brand) are actually rebranded Turkish Millenniums. Very similar for sure. I freaking LOVE them.

You got a lot of companies in Turkey making very similar model cymbals. Like Turkish, Masterwork, Amedia, Zultan, Murat Diril. The real stand-out from Turkey is Istanbul Agop in my opinion. They have their own novel cymbal designs and the craftsmanship/sound/consistency is definitely a cut above the rest I’ve tried.

@timbofromkeno

5 ай бұрын

Agop makes some really cool cymbals, and a lot of drummers are hip to them right now. I would argue that their consistency is about the same as other brands, including Turkish, though. There are only some smaller factories in Turkey (plus many factories in China) that really give these non-North American manufacturers a bad name because of poor quality control.

@llRoBoBinHoll

5 ай бұрын

@@timbofromkenoapparently Turkish cymbals come from Istanbul Mehmet factories. I bet several of those other generic brands are also related to them. Many of their lines are curiously similar. Istanbul Agop was obviously also related to them in the past, but what they focus on in the present is much more sophisticated in design and production quality imho. For me it goes without saying that most of those Turkish brands are much better value than what they produce in the USA. Especially with the prices of American cymbals here in Europe.

@timbofromkeno

5 ай бұрын

@@llRoBoBinHoll A lot of the Turkish brands are definitely a better value in Europe. That we can 100% agree on. And you are correct, the Turkish Cymbals factory is the same as the Istanbul Mehmet one. It runs in three shifts. One shift is a dedicated team to Turkish. One shift is a dedicated team for Mehmet. And a third team is dedicated to white label stuff (those smaller brands that you alluded to). It's pretty interested. But I love that each of the two main brands have a dedicated group of folks making the cymbals.

Love this Tim. Thanks for sharing!
