Agop Istanbul 24" Special Edition Jazz Ride - Demo and Play Thru

I just picked up this 24 inch Agop Instanbul special edition ride cymbal. Gorgeous instrument! I am a big fan of Zildjian, Sabian, Meinl, and Paiste but I have to say there is something very special about Agop Istanbul, especially when it comes to jazz cymbals.
* The drum set is an early '60s Rogers Holiday,
The other cymbals are:
* 15 Inch Agop Instanbul 30th Anniversary hi hats,
* 20 inch 30th Anniversary Agop Ride used as a crash.
* Heads are Remo Ambassador coated on the batters'
* Remo Ambassador clears on the reso.
The song in the video is called "Lantern Room" and is available in Epidemic Sound where you can download the stems separately.

Man, that ROAR!

[@SalMichael]

My S.E. 22" and 20" just came in and are amazing!

[@eddieavakian]

Congrats! Absolutely love mine. Hasn’t left my kit since I made this video.

[@Quartiano]

Cymbal sounds great. Lets not overlook that bass drum tone though. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 all around

[@eddieavakian]

Thank you so much! I set up this kit for a demo video a while back and can’t get myself to swap it out. It’s sounds so good to me and is so much fun to play. And for my ears, the Agop lines work great w it.

Nice sounding cymbal, maybe a touch washy for me, but oh my what a nice Rogers kit, and really tasty playing.

[@eddieavakian]

Thanks Jeremy. I purchased this kit over a year ago but only recently set it up to make a video featuring it. Once I heard how well it recorded I was blown away and decided it’s now my main kit. Thanks again for the kind comments.

About weight?

[@TheDarkDiaries-sw9re]

Hi Peter. They didn’t stamp the weight on it and I don’t have a scale large enough to weigh it. It’s very light given it’s size. I’d estimate to be in the 2500-2600 grams area. Sorry I wish I had the exact weight for you.

[@peterpiece2102]

@@TheDarkDiaries-sw9re no problem and thank you for your fast answer.

[@whirlwendpersonal5990]

Love it. That cymbal sounds great and prefect for that track. Nice paying.

[@eddieavakian]

It’s a super sweet cymbal. I’m very happy with the new edition. Thanks for checking it out.

[@SalMichael]

This 24 is really balanced ,excellent.

[@eddieavakian]

It exceeded my expectations for sure.

[@videocast3655]

Hi Eddie, how do I private message you? we may be cousins. My Grandmothers last name is Tozian..ring any bells?

[@eddieavakian]

Hello! Tozian doesn’t sound familiar to me. Surprisingly Avakian is a pretty common last name as far as Armenian last names go. What’s your name? If you want yo give me your email address I’ll email you so we can discuss further but I don’t know anyone whose last name is Tozian. Thanks!!

[@eddieavakian]

Thank you Mike. I was surprised by how much I fell in love this one. It’s also more versatile than I expected.

[@SalMichael]

Yeh , thats a beautiful balanced cymbal,especially for recording.

[@eddieavakian]
