Information

The Istanbul Agop Special Edition 22" Jazz Ride Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop Special Edition 22" Jazz Ride Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and offers an exceptionally warm, dark and expressive voice. As part of the renowned Special Edition Jazz Series, it's designed for drummers who value musicality, dynamic control and tonal complexity above sheer volume, making it an outstanding choice for jazz, acoustic and studio performance.

The larger 22" diameter produces a lower fundamental pitch and a broader, more enveloping wash than the 20" model, creating a rich, open sound that develops beautifully as the cymbal breathes. Extensive hand hammering and traditional lathing provide excellent stick definition with a woody, articulate response that remains clear while sitting comfortably within the cymbal's warm, smoky undertones. When played more forcefully, it opens into a smooth, musical crash without becoming harsh or overpowering.

Ideal for jazz, blues, folk and contemporary acoustic music, the Special Edition 22" Jazz Ride rewards a sensitive touch and excels in situations where nuance and expression are essential. Its combination of warmth, control and responsiveness makes it a superb ride for drummers looking to explore the full character of a handcrafted Turkish cymbal.
