Istanbul Agop 21″ Sultan Jazz Ride Cymbal

£382.00
The Istanbul Agop 21″ Sultan Jazz Ride Cymbal delivers a warm, dark and trashy tonal character with a constantly shifting, complex voice shaped by its unique construction. Its thinner weight and wider bell profile lower the overall pitch while maintaining controlled, articulate stick definition, making it ideal for expressive jazz, fusion and creative modern styles. Slightly darker and drier than the Traditional Series, this ride offers a rich, musical wash that never overwhelms, allowing subtle dynamics and phrasing to shine through.
