Information

The Istanbul Agop 16” Trash Hit Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Handcrafted in Istanbul from traditional B20 bronze alloy, this effect cymbal is part of the Trash Hit series, designed to deliver a distinctive, highly expressive voice. It features a unique lathing process that creates a warped outer edge, giving the cymbal a malleable feel and contributing to its complex tonal behaviour. The fully lathed traditional finish combined with this irregular profile results in a dynamic and unconventional response, while the 16" diameter and light weight provide a fast, immediate reaction with a broader, more crash-like presence.

This cymbal produces a fast, explosive and distinctly trashy attack, sitting somewhere between a crash and a china in character. The response is immediate, with a sharp, cutting accent followed by a quick, controlled decay that keeps the sound tight and musical. The wash is complex and slightly gritty, with reduced sustain compared to traditional crashes, allowing it to be used effectively for accents and textural playing. It is particularly well suited to modern, experimental, rock and fusion contexts where unique tonal colour and controlled projection are required.
