Information

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

The Istanbul Agop Traditional 22" Medium Ride Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and delivers a rich, full-bodied ride sound with outstanding warmth, articulation and musicality. As part of the renowned Traditional Series, it combines centuries-old Turkish cymbal making techniques with extensive hand hammering and a fully lathed finish to produce a beautifully balanced ride that performs across a wide range of musical styles.

The larger 22" diameter provides a deep fundamental pitch, broad projection and a smooth, controlled wash, while the medium weight ensures excellent stick definition and a confident, articulate response. It offers enough body to cut through a full band mix without sacrificing the warm, complex overtones that define handcrafted Turkish cymbals. When played with greater intensity, the cymbal opens into a broad, expressive crash, making it a versatile option for drummers who enjoy incorporating crash-ride techniques into their playing.

Suitable for jazz, blues, rock, indie, pop, contemporary worship and studio performance, the Traditional 22" Medium Ride Cymbal is an excellent all-round choice for players looking for a larger ride with warmth, projection and exceptional versatility. Its combination of clear articulation, controlled wash and handcrafted character makes it a dependable centrepiece for almost any cymbal setup.
