Information

This Istanbul Agop Turk 8" Splash Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Crafted from B20 bronze, this cymbal is part of the Istanbul Agop Turk series, featuring a raw, unlathed surface with extensive hand hammering. This construction results in a dry, controlled tonal profile with reduced overtones and a lower pitch compared to traditionally lathed splash cymbals.

In use, it delivers a very quick, sharp attack with an extremely short decay and almost no wash, making it highly responsive and precise. The smaller 8” size produces a tight, focused accent that sits cleanly in the mix, ideal for subtle textures, fast accents and controlled setups where clarity is essential. Particularly well suited to jazz, funk and modern playing styles, it offers a more refined and understated splash voice.
