I just saw galactic live the other night and the drummer was f@#$ing amazing. He was playing a Gretsch kit with 2 bass drums. One of bass drums looked like it was about 3 feet tall. The thing sounded huge! But I noticed the cymbals he was playing has a really great smooth hi-end crash and resonated out beautifully and they cut through the mix perfectly and dropped back out wonderfully. I asked the roadie what kind of cymbals he was playing and he said said they were called Bosphorus, a hand-hammered turkish jazz cymbal. I'm in the market for new cymbals and I absolutely love the sound of these. Has anyone ever heard of these, are they a well respected and widely used cymbal, or does anyone use Bospherus who would like to share a bit about them?
