Istanbul Mehmet Empire Series Cymbals

The Empire series are lathed on the outer ring, while the inner ring and bell are left raw except for stripes of lathing about every quarter inch. 

This unique lathing pattern produces cymbals that are very dry, warm with a woody stick definition. Perfect for jazz, funk or rock.

The Medium Rides produce a nice soft blend of tone and definition.

Jazz Rides offer a smooth bell tone with very hot, dry overall tone.

The Hihats have a warm hissing tone with dark and light combinations.
