Seems that by 2013 it was redesigned with a larger diameter bell and unlathed (or maybe a light skim lathing or a pin lathing -- or a scratch lathing) on top:

There are other traces around the web. This says designed in 2011 (presumably the 2nd version)

but who knows if the fiends have it right. Ptrick will know.

and maybe he can supply the weights. Some day I'll be in contact with him for help with the Istanbul section of the wiki. I'm still working through the big guys for now but keeping notes photos etc for the future.

I picked up the black friday sweet crash special last month In addition I made a trade with a real stand-up guy Mcjnic from this forum for some 16 BB hats + 19 BB. They look awfully snazzy in this light.

By the way, my drum throne is a swivel bar stool I got from Menards for $20. On the lowest setting it's the perfect height for a drum throne. Super comfortable and swivels like a champ. Discount finds for life!

I noticed the throne right away. I have 2 of those. Got them from Costco. I thought I might need to cut the legs slightly to lower the seat but like you I find the lowest setting is perfect for me.

23”. I could be talked into parting with one, possibly

Damn you. Now I have to start listening to those. Just when I was finished with this crap. Why the heck do you have four of them?

I picked up one of the Paiste Signature Prototypes.
Good grief!!!
What a Crash!
20 inches and it is ridiculously expressive.
Soft touch, hard hit, and everything in between.
Just beautiful.

I have a prototype for it - weight 2121 g. With a Vic Firth 8D it's almost all even sounding breathy wash with little stick definition - loudest soft breath I've heard. Spectacular.

14 inch FRX Sabian hi hats

One is an early prototype I was sent to try out back in the endorsement days. Other 3 I picked up over the years because I loved them so much. All different weights. 2 are close, though...

Agop 18" SE Jazz Ride at 1483g - the 18" seems to be pretty uncommon, couldn't find much information on it on the web. The previous owner bought it directly in Istanbul.
Pretty nice cymbal!

 

[Cannons]

Just bought a bucket list cymbal, or should I say, cymbals: a pair of 14” Paiste Sound Creation Dark Medium Sound Edge hi hats. They even have the original Paiste box. I’ve wanted these since I was a kid.

 

[Phantomlimb777]

A little over a week ago, I got one of these from Sinclair. I’m having a blast playing it.

 

[ThomasL]

Is that a 22 or a 24?

It’s a 24! I also Just got a 22 thin today, though!

 

[Heartbeat]

UPS just dropped this off, a 20" 602 Thin crash.

 

[NobleCooleyNut]

I received this beautiful 22” Sabian Artisan Light ride as a gift today . A truly beautiful cymbal . I had already owned the 20” version and this will go well with it .

Went to check out a 18" K Istanbul Intermediate Stamp today - 1460 gms. Was pretty sure I was going to buy it based on photos and sound video sent. And in person it didn't disappoint. Baby smooth edges - sits dead flat. 2nd owner got them around 30 yrs ago. This was the last one left of his set.....or so he thought. When I showed up today he mentioned he "found" the matching 14" Hi Hats. And fortunately for me I had brought extra money for anything unexpected. The hi hats match the 18 perfectly in all respects....Int. Stamps and weighing in at 756/926 gm.....a nice spread. Signatures are all bold. There is model and size inking on the back of each one. They sound good too.
