[gallery link="file" ut_gallery_lightbox[gallery ids="5113,5111,5110,5112,5109"] Yes folks some latest new from the Frankfurt music show 2014 Istanbul Mehmet UK have just been informed that Istanbul Mehmet has exclusive rights to the Tony Williams cymbal manufacturing at the head quarters in Istanbul. Widely regarded as one of the most important and influential jazz drummers to come to prominence in the 1960s, Williams first gained fame in the band of trumpeter Miles Davis and was a pioneer of jazz fusion. He is also considered the inventor of the blast beat, a technique that would become an important element of punk rock and heavy metal drumming. Istanbul cymbals UK are delighted to have such a legend of a name branded onto the Istanbul Mehmet cymbals. More information coming soon…..

Scott has recently became an Istanbul Mehmet artist and here’s the story behind it… Scott Ottaway Istanbul Mehmet Scott plays drums for the 60s legends, The Searchers and until late last year had always used Sabian cymbals. It wasn’t until Scott played a kit in Europe, which was set-up with Istanbul Mehmet’s that he realised what he had been missing and finally found the ride sound he had been searching for! Scott then went on to buy that exact ride cymbal and added a 16” Mehmet crash and 15” Mehmet hi hats and has never looked back! Scott came into Istanbul Mehmet HQ today to pick up some more cymbals for The Searchers tour. His cymbal set-up now includes Istanbul Traditional series, Radiant, and Sultan! We’re proud to welcome Scott on board as an artist of Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals and you can read more about Scott on our family page, or visit his website.
