Istanbul Agop Cindy Blackman 20" Mantra Crash

When Cindy Blackman-Santana felt the need for something sharper and brighter, though not at the expense of losing the darker jazzy side, Mantra is created as the perfect counterpart to OM. Adding higher volume, and greater attack, while still maintaining a musical balance of warm overtones. Great for situations which require greater projection and cut that still require a rich, dark sound.

   Cindy Blackman Mantra Crash

• Is open, full and rich.
• Provides good volume and projection.

• Reviews

  "Mantras provide Cindy Blackman-Santana with a jazz-based cymbal retaining that hallmark traditional Istanbul character, but with a sharper, brighter cutting, rocking edge. The Mantra Crash has a lower warmth and range, but starts with a sharper and livelier slicing edge. It's pretty fast for a 20", opens up easily, blooms luxuriously with a full rich whoosh. You can listen closely as it dies away and never wince at some unexpected and unharmonious overtone spoiling the purity of the decay. You can find yourselves riding on it and playing the bell. More than ever it is worth remembering 'crash' is just a convenient label and a quality cymbal like this can be put to many musical uses." - Geoff Nicholls
