Information

The Istanbul Agop Special Edition 20" Jazz Ride Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop Special Edition 20" Jazz Ride Cymbal is a handcrafted B20 bronze ride designed for drummers seeking exceptional musicality, warmth and dynamic expression. As part of the acclaimed Special Edition Jazz Series, it delivers a beautifully balanced combination of crisp stick definition, dark tonal complexity and a smooth, controlled wash, making it a superb choice for jazz, acoustic and studio performance.

Extensively hand hammered and traditionally lathed in Istanbul, this 20" ride responds effortlessly across a wide dynamic range. The clear, woody stick sound sits comfortably above a warm, smoky wash, allowing intricate ride patterns to remain articulate without sacrificing the rich, expressive character associated with handmade Turkish cymbals. When opened up, the cymbal produces a smooth, musical crash that blends naturally into the overall sound.

Although created with jazz drummers in mind, the Special Edition 20" Jazz Ride is equally at home in blues, folk, singer-songwriter and contemporary settings where subtle dynamics and tonal nuance are essential. Its controlled response and exceptional sensitivity make it a ride that rewards a lighter touch while offering the versatility required for a wide range of musical situations.
