£382.00

The Istanbul Agop 21″ Turk Jazz Ride Cymbal delivers a dark, warm and expressive voice, shaped by its thinner weight and wider bell profile. This unique design produces a softer, lower-pitched tone with a beautifully controlled wash, making it ideal for nuanced playing and dynamic expression. As part of the Turk Series, this cymbal is completely unlathed, allowing the raw, organic character of the bronze to shine through with a dry response and rich yet restrained overtones.
