Turkish Cymbals is a new cymbal company, but, the cymbals are handmade out of Istanbul. Modern Drummer had a nice review of their "vintage soul" line. The cymbals have a throw back sound (in the review) of Pretty Purdie/jazz soul greats of the late 60's/70's. It sounds right up my alley. I was wondering if anyone had the opportunity of playing this cymbal line. I would also be interested on any other experiences with this company.

[COLOR="Purple"]I see them from time to time online...my recollection is that their logo is so sorta dumb-looking that I never could bring myself to buying one. However, they DO look to be what they claim to be.
Maybe some acetone to remove the logos.....[/COLOR]

If the logo is my only problem, I'm golden! I see a pretty good deal for the hihats. I want to take a chance. There's an online video, sounds great. Ludwig Dude pointed out on another thread about actually playing a cymbal, over clips, and I agree. This forum has so many different experiences, I was wondering if someone played this company's product. I might sell something and take a gamble.
