Information

The Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 24" Ride Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 24" Ride Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and delivers an enormous, warm and deeply expressive voice inspired by the legendary Turkish cymbals of the 1950s and 1960s. Created to celebrate Istanbul Agop's 30th anniversary, this flagship ride embodies the company's finest traditional craftsmanship, offering exceptional tonal complexity, dynamic sensitivity and vintage character.

The expansive 24" diameter produces a deep, low-pitched fundamental with a broad, rolling wash that remains beautifully controlled throughout its sustain. Extensive hand hammering and traditional lathing create a clear, woody stick definition that sits naturally above rich, smoky overtones, allowing intricate ride patterns to remain articulate while preserving the cymbal's warm, organic voice. Despite its size, the cymbal responds effortlessly to subtle playing and opens into a huge, expressive crash when required, making it remarkably versatile.

Designed for jazz, big band, blues, acoustic music and studio performance, the 30th Anniversary 24" Ride Cymbal is an exceptional choice for drummers seeking the ultimate vintage-inspired Turkish ride. Its commanding presence, effortless musicality and handcrafted character make it a true centrepiece for players who value nuance, expression and timeless sound.
