 cymbal reviews
Overall, the crashes are very present in the blend and as their Ride cymbal compadres, have a bit flatter profile which adds to the control factor and darkness of tone.
The bell sound is what a crash cymbal's is usually thought as- higher pitched and really not used for any more than a tonal generator for the body of the cymbal.
One criticism I have of the cymbals is the finish- In my "bag of tricks" I like to scrape the tip of the stick across the surface of the cymbal to achieve a very high pitched squeal.

 RECORDING - Bosphorus/Istanbul cymbals - Sound and Rhythm
Some drummers who use Zildjian/Sabian/Paiste often have the odd Istanbul in their setup for added colour.

Having said this, the difference really isn't that massive.

I would suggest that if you can find somewhere that stocks Zildjian's or Sabian's as well as Istanbul's, that will give you a chance to hear them side by side and make up your own mind.

I haven't really paid attention to the Bosphorus cymbals for a few years as I wasn't particularly impressed.

I think one of the problems with buying high end cymbals is just finding them at stores to try out.
