Description
Istanbul Signature 11″, 13″, 15″ Clap Stack
The Istanbul Agop Signature Clap Stack is a uniquely shaped and tempered trio of cymbals designed to create a tactile, acoustic reproduction of analogue 8 bit handclap samples that have been an integral part of music for generations. Decay on the Clap Stack can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the cymbal felts and wing nuts until the desired note-length is achieved.
Designed with Signature artist Trevor Lawrence, Jr., let’s hear the man himself talk about his creation…
Anyone else notice a sound similar to the Snare on Cameo’s ‘Word Up’ when played on its own? We definitely had flashbacks of the disturbing red cod-piece worn by Larry Blackmon! Don’t believe us? Well look and listen…
The similarity in sound is uncanny…and this is just one of the sounds achievable from this stack-set which sits alongside the other innovative Signature models from this equally innovative cymbal maker.
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.
