Description

The Turk Series is defined by its fully unlathed surfaces, allowing the natural personality of the bronze to shine through. This approach results in a drier, more textured and earthy sound that feels alive and responsive. The 8″ Turk Splash embodies this philosophy, offering a compact, expressive voice that blends naturally into acoustic environments while still cutting through when needed.

Sound & Feel:

• Dark, raw and organic tonal character
• Quick, dry decay for tight accents
• Crisp and immediate attack
• Minimal wash for precise articulation
• Earthy texture with controlled resonance

Built to Perform:

• Crafted from premium B20 bronze for warmth and complexity
• Fully hand-hammered using traditional Turkish methods
• Unlathed surface preserves natural tonal qualities
• Designed for expressive, dynamic playing
• A true reflection of raw, handcrafted cymbal artistry

Ideal For:

• Drummers seeking dry, dark splash accents
• Players who favour raw, organic cymbal textures
• Jazz, fusion, experimental and acoustic styles
• Studio musicians needing controlled, quick-decay effects
• Anyone looking for a highly characterful splash cymbal
