Information

The Istanbul Agop Cindy Blackman Mantra 22" Ride Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop Cindy Blackman Mantra 22" Ride Cymbal was developed in collaboration with Cindy Blackman Santana, combining the warmth and musicality of her acclaimed OM Series with the increased projection, attack and versatility required for louder musical settings. Crafted from premium B20 bronze using traditional Turkish cymbal making techniques, each cymbal is individually hand hammered and finished with traditional lathing to produce a rich, expressive voice that remains balanced across a wide dynamic range.

The 22" diameter delivers a beautifully defined stick response with a warm, full-bodied wash that develops naturally without overwhelming the articulation. Its medium-thin weight provides excellent crashability while retaining the clarity and control expected from a dedicated ride cymbal, making it equally comfortable laying down intricate patterns or opening up for powerful musical accents. A clear, balanced bell completes the package, offering confident projection that sits naturally within the overall voice of the cymbal.

Ideal for jazz, rock, funk, fusion, pop and contemporary styles, the Cindy Blackman Mantra 22" Ride Cymbal offers outstanding versatility, combining handcrafted Turkish character with a powerful yet musical voice that performs effortlessly in both live and studio environments.
