Sultan Series		Azure Series
The Sultans are the kings! Why the stripes? They provide the sounds of both the Natural and the Dark. The dry unlathed Turk part limits the sustain, controlling the sound without sacrificing the natural feel and also provides multiple, distinct sticking sounds. The Sultan, just as its name implies, will rule your setup with its versatility and unique sound. The Sultans will sound excellent in any context, from Jazz to Fusion to heavy Rock.		The newest addition to the Istanbul family, the Azure Series is designed to offer drummers of all styles a cleaner, more focused alternative to traditional Turkish cymbal sounds, while maintaining the musicality that can only be truly achieved with handmade cymbals. The rides have icy, focused sticking with a smooth, dark wash. The crash has a glassy attack with a dark, balanced decay. The hats are crisp, tight and focused yet light enough for lower volume playing.

Turk		Empire		Vezir
Raw and natural, inspired by the masses. Designed for those who seek something honest, untamed and unrefined, yet exuding class. There is no lathing to soften the complex sounds created by one man and several thousand hammer hits.		Traditionally lathed at the edges with progressively more open lathing moving toward the centre provides a combination of light sticking and and a cutting high end. Thin and musical, the Empire series is powerful yet subtle and works well in most musical situations.		The Vezir series is very controlled and tight. The traditionally lathed top helps to soften the sound and bring a musical versatility to the unlathed, raw underside which helps the cymbal also retain dark and fast qualities. The Vezir is extremely versatile and works will with all styles of playing.
