Good for you! I'm not really familiar with Istanbul cymbals. I mean, I've heard of the brand but I don't know the different models of Istanbul cymbals and stuff like that.

well the second snare is borrowed from a band I play in.. to bad I have to give it back. But I hope the piccolo is good enough and if I have the money for it.

Thanks for looking!

WOW! Nice drums man. Wish I had one. Only if Pearl would've put Superhoops on it, I would've bought one in Clear Birch.

I've tried Istanbul cymbals, And I've always been impressed with them. I was thinking Of getting an Istanbul ride.

You should do man!! But you should have in mind that istanbul is i think for rock/metal players. Because they are fairly thick and they have a long sustain. It is my taste, but not everyone has that :D

The mess is gone and onlyt I have to tune them right.

Thanks for looking!!

Kind regards.
