The Istanbul Agop Signature 18" Crash Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop Signature 18" Crash Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and is one of the most expressive cymbals in the Istanbul Agop range. Designed for drummers seeking a dark, complex and highly musical crash, the Signature Series is renowned for its extensive hand hammering and lightly lathed finish, producing a dry, smoky character inspired by some of the finest vintage Turkish cymbals ever made.

The 18" diameter delivers a fast, effortless response with a soft, buttery attack that blooms into a warm, complex wash. Its thin profile allows the cymbal to open up with minimal effort, while the controlled sustain and dark tonal character ensure it remains smooth and refined even during more dynamic performances. Rich, layered overtones give the cymbal exceptional depth, making it particularly rewarding for drummers who value touch, expression and subtle musical detail.

Perfect for jazz, blues, acoustic music, fusion and studio performance, the Signature 18" Crash Cymbal excels in situations where warmth, nuance and tonal complexity are essential. Its vintage-inspired voice and handcrafted character make it an outstanding choice for drummers looking for a crash with exceptional sensitivity and timeless musicality.
