Istanbul Agop 18″ Agop Signature Crash Cymbal

£303.00

The Istanbul Agop 18″ Agop Crash Cymbal delivers an ultra-dark, dry and deeply expressive voice, designed for drummers who crave organic texture and raw musicality. Paper thin and low pitched, this crash opens instantly with a soft, breathy attack and decays quickly, creating a controlled, trashy wash that never overwhelms. Its complex tonal character makes it ideal for subtle accents, atmospheric playing and dynamic expression, where nuance and feel matter as much as volume.

Key Features:

• 18″ crash cymbal from the Istanbul Agop Signature Series
• Paper thin construction for fast response
• Dark, dry and low-pitched tonal character
• Quick decay with controlled, trashy wash
• Highly expressive and touch-sensitive
• Handcrafted using traditional Turkish cymbal-making methods
• Built to Agop Tomurcuk’s original design specifications
• Made from premium B20 bronze alloy
• Each cymbal is completely unique
