Information

The Istanbul Agop Special Edition 21" Jazz Ride Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop Special Edition 21" Jazz Ride Cymbal is a handcrafted B20 bronze ride that delivers the perfect balance between articulate stick definition and a warm, expressive wash. Part of the highly regarded Special Edition Jazz Series, it's designed for drummers who appreciate subtle dynamics, rich tonal complexity and the unmistakable character of handmade Turkish cymbals.

Sitting between the 20" and 22" models, the 21" diameter offers an excellent compromise of control, projection and musicality. Extensive hand hammering and traditional lathing produce a clear, woody stick response that sits comfortably above a dark, smoky wash, while the cymbal remains responsive enough to open into a smooth, crashable ride when required. Its balanced feel makes it equally suited to intricate ride patterns and more expressive playing.

Although developed with jazz in mind, the Special Edition 21" Jazz Ride is versatile enough for acoustic, blues, folk and contemporary styles where warmth, sensitivity and tonal nuance are key. Its combination of controlled sustain, expressive dynamics and handcrafted character makes it an outstanding all-round ride for drummers seeking a refined, musical voice.
