Istanbul Mehmet TW-SET

The Istanbul Mehmet Tony Williams Tribute Set (TW-SET) is a meticulously handcrafted cymbal collection that pays homage to the legendary jazz drummer Tony Williams. Developed in collaboration with Williams' widow, Colleen, this set replicates the iconic cymbals Tony used during his tenure with the Miles Davis Quintet in the 1960s.
