Information

The Istanbul Agop Traditional 17" Thin Crash Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop Traditional 17" Thin Crash Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and offers a superb balance of speed, warmth and musical expression. As part of the acclaimed Traditional Series, it combines extensive hand hammering with a traditional fully lathed finish to produce the rich, complex sound that has made Istanbul Agop one of the world's most respected cymbal manufacturers.

The 17" diameter provides a little more body and projection than a 16" crash while retaining the fast, effortless response of a thin cymbal. It opens up quickly with a warm, shimmering attack before settling into a smooth, controlled wash, delivering plenty of tonal complexity without becoming overpowering. Its balanced sustain makes it equally effective for subtle accents, dynamic crashes and expressive playing across a wide range of musical styles.

Ideal for jazz, blues, indie, pop, rock and contemporary worship, the Traditional 17" Thin Crash Cymbal is an excellent all-round crash for drummers who value responsiveness and musicality. Whether used as a primary crash or alongside larger models, it provides the warmth, control and handcrafted character expected from a premium Turkish cymbal.
