Information

The Istanbul Agop Traditional 19" Flat Ride Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop Traditional 19" Flat Ride Cymbal delivers a beautifully controlled, articulate voice, making it an outstanding choice for drummers seeking exceptional stick definition and subtle musicality. Crafted from premium B20 bronze using traditional Turkish cymbal making techniques, each cymbal is individually hand hammered and finished with traditional lathing. Its bell-less design creates a uniquely focused response, producing the dark, refined character that has made flat rides a favourite amongst jazz musicians and studio drummers alike.

The 19" diameter offers a balanced feel with a crisp, woody stick response and an exceptionally tight, controlled wash. Without a bell, the entire playing surface responds with remarkable consistency, allowing intricate ride patterns to remain clear without excessive overtones or build-up. The result is a cymbal with a short, controlled decay and a smooth, understated voice that excels in lower-volume settings while still offering enough warmth and complexity to remain expressive throughout a performance.

Ideal for jazz, fusion, acoustic, folk and studio work, the Traditional 19" Flat Ride Cymbal offers outstanding articulation and control, combining handcrafted Turkish character with a beautifully balanced sound that sits effortlessly within any musical setting.
