The Istanbul Agop Lenny White Signature Epoch Ride was developed in collaboration with Lenny and heavily inspired by a ride that was given to Wallace Roney by the late, great Tony Williams, which White used to play while working with Roney. In 2009, Istanbul Agop completed the series, introducing 17", 18", 19", and 20" crashes and 14" hi-hats.

The Cindy Blackman OM Series was designed in conjunction with Cindy to capture the more complex, dynamic cymbal sounds from the golden era of jazz. The 22" ride has a clear, slightly metallic stick sound, enhanced by the unique blue/black finishing process. The crashes are lower pitched and trashy with a short decay. The 15" hi-hats are low, dark, and washy but with a clear “chick.”

By combining modern production techniques with traditional cymbal-making concepts, Istanbul Agop is able to offer professional-quality cast B20 cymbals at a price that is accessible to drummers of all levels. The hi-hats are crisp and focused with tight sticking, the crashes have a papery attack with a medium decay, and the ride delivers a clear definitive “ping” with a mellow wash.
