Sound Pure's Take

Any jazz drummer looking to capture the warm and complex tones of a vintage ride should give this Bosphorus Masters cymbal some serious consideration. This used cymbal is in very good condition, with some stick marks and no keyholing or cracks. 

This ride cymbal offers clear stick definition with dark and complex undertones, but without sounding trashy. A drummer with a lighter touch is sure to bring out the best of this cymbal. Its small bell offers a fairly wide spread but won't wash out with the right approach. 

From Bosphorus Cymbals

Like all Bosphorus Cymbals, Master Series are completely hand made from the casting process through the final hammering, not one step is relegated to a machine.
 
The alloy is from an ancient formula passed down by many generations of cymbal smiths. It gives these instruments a soft, “played-in” feel.
 
Most importantly, the Master Series are much thinner than today’s heavier weighted cymbals. You’ll see the characteristic “wobble” made by the cymbal’s edge when played.
 
Listen for the woody stick sound and the deep mysterious tone. Feel the dark warm spread underneath. Unlock your creative potential and explore new levels of expression with genuine hand-crafted musical instruments from Bosphorus.
