The Istanbul Mehmet Radiant cymbals are able to produce an excellent penetrating sound that is suited for most musical situations, especially pop and rock. Each cymbal in the Radiant Series has been carefully hand polished to create a lovely, brilliant finish. Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, Ozzy Osbourne, John Lennon and many more) uses these very Istanbul cymbals and the Radiants are a permanent fixture in his cymbal set-up!

The Radiant splash is a fast cymbal that is always ready to perform! This splash cymbal produces a dark touch of tone which gives it a unique characteristic, making your cymbal set-up sound better than ever. Once you’ve heard the sounds of the Radiant Mehmet’s nothing will ever compare!

The Istanbul brand name was adopted by a cymbal works established by two cymbalsmiths, Mehmet Tamdeger and Agop Tomurcuk. At that time, they had over three decades of cymbal making experience. Mehmet and Agop named their company after the city that has been home to the epitome of high quality cymbals for many, many years: Istanbul. These cymbals were first exported to the U.S. in 1984, first under the name "Zildjiler", and soon afterwards as "Istanbul". Both craftsmen signed each cymbal and many of these cymbals are now collectors' items.

After Agop Tomurcuk' s unexpected death in July 1996, Mehmet decided to continue the production of cymbals under his own name, İstanbul Mehmet. A lot has changed since then, but his belief in the richness and the character of a handmade cymbal will always remain. Machines don't have ears. That's why we continue to make our cymbals according to the ancient tradition - with an open eye towards the music that's being made now, and in the future.
