Turkey has a very long history of cymbal making that dates back many centuries to the time of the Ottoman Empire. Continuing the country's tradition of handmade cymbals, Istanbul Agop
has evolved their process since being founded in the 1980s to become world-famous for their finely crafted cymbals. As you do your research, you'll see that this family company produces a wide array of original and traditional cymbal designs for every drummer and percussionist. The Istanbul Agop medium-weight cymbals you see here are definitely worth considering when you want to add color to your drumming, whether you rock out with a metal band or play in an orchestra.
If you're going for accents that are washy, trashy and focused, the Istanbul Agop Xist Crash Cymbal is a great choice. This cast B20 cymbal comes in an 18-inch brilliant, 20 and 22-inch. This is a best-seller that has a bright, papery attack and a medium decay. One of these crashes is perfect when you crave professional quality at an entry-level price.
On the other hand, if you'd prefer a cymbal with a dark sound, dry stick definition and warm undertones, you might like what the Istanbul Agop Signature Ride Cymbal can lend to your steady drum patterns. Plus, it has mellow crash-ride capabilities to give you a little more versatility and creativity when you're drumming. As far as appearance, the classic lathed 20 and 22-inch rides feature a natural finish and smoky tone.
Your choice of cymbal is a personal preference which will help you shape your individuality as a percussionist. When you're shopping for a new crash, hi-hats or a ride for your drum kit, these Istanbul Agop medium cymbals deserve a look because they're painstakingly crafted with a nod to tradition combined with a progressive approach to design. Whatever your drumming style or musical genre, this wide assortment of medium cymbals makes it easy to customize your own special sound.
