The Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 20" Flat Ride Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and delivers an exceptionally dry, warm and refined sound inspired by the legendary Turkish flat rides of the past. As part of the prestigious 30th Anniversary Series, it combines extensive hand hammering with traditional lathing to create a beautifully controlled cymbal with remarkable musicality and vintage character.

Unlike a conventional ride, the flat ride features no bell, resulting in an incredibly focused stick response with virtually no unwanted overtones. The 20" diameter produces a clear, woody articulation over a soft, smoky cushion of sound, with minimal wash and a short, controlled sustain. Its dark, understated voice makes it ideal for intricate ride patterns, brushwork and situations where clarity and definition are more important than projection.

Perfect for jazz, acoustic music, big band, blues and studio recording, the 30th Anniversary 20" Flat Ride Cymbal is an outstanding choice for drummers seeking a sophisticated, vintage-inspired ride with exceptional control and tonal nuance. Its handcrafted character and highly articulate response make it a favourite for players who appreciate subtlety, dynamics and musical expression.
