Description
Istanbul Signature 22″ Cindy Blackman OM Ride Cymbal
Cindy Blackman plays a variety of music. Her OM cymbals, tonally, give you the vibier end of the golden era of Jazz with their focused, dark, dry wash and thunderous Crash/Ride potential. These cymbals make heavy references the traditional Turkish sound of a bygone age.
The Istanbul Signature 22″ Cindy Blackman OM Ride has a clear, slightly metallic stick sound encouraged by its unique black finishing and intensive hammering patterns. The result of Cindy’s collaboration with Istanbul Agop Cymbals, this Ride cymbal is a perfect choice for Jazz, Indie Rock, or any situation calling for the classic 60’s dry, trashy, Turkish sound.
This is a really informative video from BR Distribution showing side-by-side comparisons of the OM and Mantra series cymbals and is worth watching in full. However, we have set the clip to start at the Cindy Blackman OM Ride selection…

About Istanbul Cymbals
Istanbul cymbals were born from the collaboration between Mehmet Tamdeğer and Agop Tomurcuk, now cymbal-smiths with decades of joint cymbal-making experience. Mehmet and Agop named their company after the city that has been home to the epitome of high-quality cymbals for many, many years – Istanbul.
