Information

This Istanbul Agop 19″ Traditional Crash Ride Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

This is a genuine dual-purpose cymbal from the Traditional series, completely lathed on top and bottom in the way that defines Istanbul Agop's core range, hand-hammered from B20 bronze using techniques passed down through generations of Turkish cymbalsmiths. It combines an open, smooth ride response with a powerful, dynamic crash, so you get two cymbals' worth of function from one piece, without compromising heavily on either.

At 19 inches, it sits at a size where that dual character really works: light enough to open up quickly and crash convincingly, but with enough body to hold a musical ride pattern with a genuine bell and a good ping underneath the wash. Played as a ride, the attack stays highlighted and resonant without becoming aggressive; played as a crash, it responds fast and speaks with real presence. That flexibility makes it a natural choice for smaller kits, for players who want to travel light without sacrificing options, or for anyone who wants one cymbal that genuinely covers both jobs rather than doing either half-heartedly.

Key features:

• Genuine dual-purpose design, open ride response with a powerful crash
• Fully lathed Traditional series construction, top and bottom
• Musical bell and clear ping for ride patterns
• Fast-responding, dynamic crash character
