Mehmet worked for zildjian Istanbul so he must of learned alot. I had the great opportunity when I was a young drummer back in the 1970's to play on TURKISH made zildjians here in the United States and I'm not lying. They sounded just as good as the American made ones. 🤘

[@coreyw5981]

I wonder how the agop brand from the two sons became far more popular than Mehmet's brand. His stuff is very very good. Just as good as theirs

[@metothemoon1227]

Zildjian + Istanbul Agop = Heaven

[@ziggysanderson]

Someday I hope to venture to Turkey and see this process!

[@nanashipersonne4151]

Would not get my hopes up, going there, but got no response from Istanbul Agop regarding factory tours or showrooms.

[@nanashipersonne4151]

Correction: They did respond, but do not do factory tours as of this time.

[@MrCagricetin]

[@DemetrioAlbidrez]

What is the Largest Size of Cymbal You Make ??

[@tedtedsen269]

is the Agop series symbals a different compani than Mehmet

[@carlosrrr2011]

ted tedsen I’m pretty sure they are the same company but their concepts are different. I think Agop are brighter side of the Istanbul series, and Mehmet the darker side.

[@tedtedsen269]

Ok thanks perhaps i'm purchasing Istanbul Agop brilliant how do they compare to Paiste pst7 sound /value for money

[@ryanb1874]

It is a different, operation, probably not in direct comp though

[@buraktepe6683]

They mentioned that 14 different companies.

[@Superstacco]

They're two different companies (watch the vid!) with the same roots.

[@clarencebaldwin2424]

Constantinople ☦️🇬🇷

[@ulisesfonseca7937]

being the greatest hitting this snare like that, I don`t think so 1:10

[@gregoryhext368]

It’s a movie!

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

This technique is mainly used in smashcore and other metal music.

[@regentsaquariums5692]

Another of Zildjian result lol

[@BBT609]

Correct, the guys who started instanbul worked for the Zildjian company in Turkey until the plant was closed in 1977. In 1981, Instanbul was born.

[@jareddoran6605]

Zildjian abandoned any and all tradition when they moved to the US. Agop and Mehmet kept it alive

[@ryanb1874]

ARE you friends w me Bosphorus?

[@andrewyka]

Worst Class!!!Istanbul!!!

[@yguc9342]
