Information

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

The Istanbul Agop Traditional 18" Paper Thin Crash Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and delivers an exceptionally fast, warm and highly expressive crash response. As part of the acclaimed Traditional Series, it combines extensive hand hammering with a traditional fully lathed finish to produce the rich tonal complexity and musicality that define handcrafted Turkish cymbals.

The larger 18" diameter adds greater depth, projection and body than smaller paper thin crashes, while retaining the effortless response that this weight is known for. It opens instantly with the lightest touch, producing a broad, shimmering attack followed by a smooth, controlled decay that blends naturally into the mix. Its delicate feel and warm, complex voice make it particularly rewarding for drummers who rely on touch, dynamics and musical expression.

Equally at home in jazz, acoustic, blues, folk and studio settings, the Traditional 18" Paper Thin Crash Cymbal is also a superb secondary crash for players looking to add a lighter, more responsive voice to their setup. Its combination of speed, warmth and handcrafted character makes it an inspiring choice for drummers seeking maximum sensitivity without sacrificing tonal richness.
