Information

The Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 20" Ride Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 20" Ride Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and embodies the warm, dark and deeply musical sound of the legendary Turkish cymbals that inspired its creation. Developed to celebrate Istanbul Agop's 30th anniversary, this series pays tribute to the iconic vintage cymbals of the 1950s and 1960s, offering exceptional tonal complexity, dynamic sensitivity and handcrafted character.

The 20" diameter delivers an ideal balance of articulate stick definition and a rich, smoky wash, making it a highly versatile ride for expressive players. Extensive hand hammering and traditional lathing create a soft, woody stick sound that sits naturally above a bed of warm, buttery overtones, while the cymbal remains remarkably responsive across a wide dynamic range. When played with greater intensity, it opens into a smooth, musical crash without losing its refined, vintage-inspired voice.

Perfect for jazz, blues, acoustic music, folk and studio performance, the 30th Anniversary 20" Ride Cymbal rewards drummers who value nuance, touch and tonal expression. Its combination of vintage character, effortless musicality and handcrafted Turkish craftsmanship makes it an exceptional centrepiece for any discerning drummer's setup.
