Description
By combining a unique vintage-style lathing on the top with a very light Agop Signature-style lathing on the bottom, the Special Edition Jazz Ride produces a sound that is dark, complex and highly musical. This carefully balanced construction allows the cymbal to retain warmth and depth while offering a smoother high end and enhanced stick definition, making it easy to articulate detailed patterns without overwhelming the rest of the kit.
Sound & Feel:
• Woody, articulate stick response
• Dry, controlled overtones and wash
• Dark tonal character with smooth high frequencies
• Highly responsive to touch and dynamics
• Ideal for subtle phrasing and nuanced playing
Built to Perform:
• Handcrafted in Turkey using traditional methods
• Vintage-style top lathing for added tonal depth
• Light Agop Signature-style bottom lathing for refined stick clarity
• Designed for control, balance and expressive range
• Built for consistent performance in studio and live settings
Ideal For:
• Jazz drummers seeking a dry, articulate ride cymbal
• Players who favour dark, complex tonal palettes
