Information

The Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 22" Medium Ride Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 22" Medium Ride Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and delivers the unmistakable warmth, depth and vintage character that define the acclaimed 30th Anniversary Series. Inspired by the legendary Turkish cymbals of the 1950s and 1960s, it combines traditional hand hammering and lathing techniques with a medium weight profile to produce a ride that offers exceptional articulation alongside rich, musical complexity.

The larger 22" diameter creates a deep, low-pitched voice with a broad, controlled wash that sits beautifully beneath a clear, woody stick definition. Its medium weight provides increased projection and a more focused response than the standard model, making it equally comfortable in intimate jazz settings or larger ensembles. Despite its added articulation, the cymbal retains the dark, buttery overtones and expressive feel that have made the 30th Anniversary Series so highly regarded. When played with greater intensity, it opens into a smooth, musical crash while maintaining excellent control.

Ideal for jazz, blues, big band, acoustic music, folk and studio recording, the 30th Anniversary 22" Medium Ride Cymbal is an outstanding choice for drummers seeking authentic vintage Turkish tone with enhanced clarity and presence. Its combination of handcrafted craftsmanship, expressive dynamics and timeless musicality makes it a superb centrepiece for any professional cymbal setup.
