Istanbul Agop 22" Agop Signature Flat Ride

I have been looking for a long time for such a flat ride - it has a lot of character and clear stick definition at the same time. It is also a bit crashable (for a flat ride). Very happy with it, if there is a con it would probably be the price which is pretty high for a ride you can't try live and agop are known for the fact that each cymbal sounds different from the other so you might get one too heavy or too light for your taste. I was lucky in this case but anyway - if I hadn't been so lucky, I could have sent it back to thomann. It blends perfectly with other agop signature cymbals I have (15hi hat and a 26 ride). In a brighter, more fusion/rock environment it might get lost in the mix.
