“I prefer AA Meinl Byzance and Istanbul”
Do you a cymbal in those brands that would be equivalent to a Zildjian K?
I was about to purchase a 20” Zildjian K ride, now I need to check out some other brands.
I want something a little washy. Sort of that early Ringo ride sound.
Just for fun:
Ringo Starr? He couldn't swing if he was hanging!

Istanbul cymbals was started by two cymbal smiths that made Zildjian K cymbals back in the day. Those guys have passed away now but the company still makes great stuff. I prefer Istanbul Agop. I would check those at your local drum shop to see if you like the sound. I prefer a pingy ride and use a 22 inch Istanbul Vezir ride.
