The Istanbul Agop Special Edition 18" Jazz Crash Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums

The Istanbul Agop Special Edition 18" Jazz Crash Cymbal is a handcrafted B20 bronze crash designed for drummers seeking a dark, expressive sound with exceptional musicality. Built as part of the acclaimed Special Edition Jazz Series, it offers a soft, responsive feel that excels at lower dynamic levels while retaining the rich tonal complexity that has made Istanbul Agop a favourite amongst jazz musicians.

Extensively hand hammered and traditionally lathed in Istanbul, this 18" crash delivers a warm, low-pitched attack followed by a smooth, controlled wash with beautifully complex overtones. Its thinner profile allows the cymbal to open up effortlessly with minimal effort, making it ideal for subtle accents, swells and dynamic playing where expression is more important than outright volume.

While perfectly suited to jazz, the Special Edition Jazz Crash is equally at home in acoustic, blues, folk and studio settings, where its dark character and controlled sustain sit naturally within the mix. Players looking for a crash that responds to the lightest touch while maintaining excellent musical definition will appreciate the sensitivity and craftsmanship this cymbal offers.
