ABOUT ISTANBUL MEHMET - Mehmet Tamdeger learned his art from Mikhail Zilcan, the grandson of Kerope Zilcan, after whom the Zilcan K series is named. In the 1950s, he worked in the K. Zilcan factory in Istanbul. At the age of nine Mehmet Tamdeğer started to work for Mikhail Zilcan. Mikhail Zilcan and Kirkor Kucukyan taught him every aspect of this ancient Turkish art, based on a history that stems back to the early 17th century. The Istanbul brand name was adopted by a cymbal works established by two cymbal smiths, Mehmet Tamdeger and Agop Tomurcuk. At that time, they had over three decades of 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. These cymbals were first exported to the U.S. in 1984, first under the name "Zildjiler", and soon afterwards as "Istanbul". Both craftsmen signed each cymbal and many of these cymbals are now collectors' items. After Agop Tomurcuk's unexpected death in July 1996, Mehmet decided to continue the production of cymbals under his own name, Δ°stanbul Mehmet. A lot has changed since then, but his belief in the richness and the character of a handmade cymbal will always remain. Machines don't have ears. That's why we continue to make our cymbals according to the ancient tradition - with an open eye towards the music that's being made now, and in the future. ## Features - Hand crafted in Istanbul, Turkey - Rich, Warm and Natural, Crystal Clear Tone - Smaller Cup, Special Thin Lathing - Specially designed for jazz styles - Available in 19", 20", 21", 22", 24"with or without rivets / sizzles ## Images ![Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals Jazz Series ML-R24 Mehmet Legend Ride 24-Inch Cymbal - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81O706i4BHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great medium-thin ride cymbal *by O***S on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on August 13, 2021* I've tried a few of these cymbals, and right now one of them is my main ride. They've all had a defined stick sound over a rich wash. The main difference in the ones I've played is that some of them are a little thicker at the edge, which made those cymbals a little brighter, higher in pitch and less washy.The Legends feature very fine lathing, but otherwise have the same design as Mehmet's Nostalgia 70s or a 61st Anniversary rides, with small bells, low profiles and weights in the 2800-2900 gram range.If you want something trashy, look elsewhere. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/119798624-istanbul-mehmet-cymbals-jazz-series-ml-r24-mehmet-legend-ride](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/119798624-istanbul-mehmet-cymbals-jazz-series-ml-r24-mehmet-legend-ride) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
