The Istanbul Agop Traditional 16" Paper Thin Crash Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop Traditional 16" Paper Thin Crash Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and is designed to deliver an incredibly fast, delicate and expressive crash response. As part of the renowned Traditional Series, it combines extensive hand hammering with a fully lathed finish to produce the warm, complex tonal character that has made handcrafted Turkish cymbals so highly regarded by drummers around the world.

Its paper thin weight allows the cymbal to open up with the lightest touch, producing an immediate, shimmering attack followed by a quick, smooth decay. The 16" diameter provides excellent responsiveness and control, making it ideal for subtle accents, low-volume playing and situations where a lighter, more nuanced crash is required. Despite its delicate construction, the cymbal retains a rich, warm voice with beautifully balanced overtones that sit naturally within the overall kit sound.

Perfect for jazz, acoustic music, blues, folk and studio performance, the Traditional 16" Paper Thin Crash Cymbal is an excellent choice for drummers who value sensitivity, musicality and dynamic expression. Whether used as a primary crash in quieter settings or as a fast accent cymbal alongside larger crashes, it offers exceptional responsiveness and unmistakable handcrafted character.
