yes. because we all hate 'em !!! :D;)

I'd almost believe you

No seriously, I think the problem is just that the B20 alloy of many Turkish cymbals (not only Anatolian) is often extremely hard and by consequence more brittle. But the hardness at the same time makes a great sound.
Also the way the alloy is made in Turkey isn't always consistent. The copper is often gained from old electric copper wire with the plastic sleeve still on when it is melted down. Also the amount of copper and tin isn't always 80 to 20 parts as it should be.
But the biggest flaws are often mistakes in the tempering process. Then a B20 cymbal can become very brittle.

That makes it so difficult to get good darker cymbals. The American B20 alloy is purer and stronger BUT the K's are not hammered by hand anymore while on the other hand the Turkish are mostly still hammered by hand BUT the alloy isn't so consistent.

I use Anatolian Expression and have no problems at all!!!

Das einzige Problem ist nur, dass sie nicht mehr so schön glänzen wie direkt nach dem Kauf. Sie sind alle ein wenig matter geworden...

Haltbarkeit und Sound sind aber 100% okay!!!

Sehe ich ganz genauso wie LarsKrachen. Meine Anatolian Ultimates sind wie am Anfang - Top of the Line und wirkliche Oberklassebecken. Das mit dem matter, kann ich nur bestättigen. Aber aber auch ein verfechter von "ungeputzten Becken" ... sprich meine Becken werden auf keinen Fall geputzt und danken es mir!

Groove,
