Istanbul Signature 18″ Cindy Blackman OM Crash Cymbal

Cindy Blackman plays a variety of music. Her OM cymbals, tonally, give you the vibier end of the golden era of Jazz. Focused, metallic sticking with a dark, dry wash and a thunderous crash. Great for situations which require a traditional Turkish sound.

The Istanbul Signature 18″ Cindy Blackman OM Crash cymbal is paper thin, with an explosive attack and a quick decay. Mixing OM Crash cymbals makes for a perfect blend of fast, bright explosiveness followed by some lovely dark, low, trashy undertones. Tony Williams would have loved these…

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 18″ OM Crash 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.
