The Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 20" Medium Ride Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and combines the warm, vintage-inspired character of the acclaimed 30th Anniversary Series with increased articulation, projection and definition. Inspired by the legendary Turkish cymbals of the 1950s and 1960s, it delivers exceptional tonal complexity while offering the control and versatility required for a wide variety of musical settings.

The medium weight construction provides a more pronounced stick definition than the standard 20" Ride, allowing every note to remain clear while sitting above a rich, smoky wash. Extensive hand hammering and traditional lathing create a dark, buttery tonal character with beautifully balanced overtones, while the controlled sustain ensures the cymbal remains musical without becoming overpowering. When played with greater intensity, it opens into a smooth, expressive crash, adding even more versatility to its already impressive performance.

Ideal for jazz, blues, acoustic music, big band, folk and studio recording, the 30th Anniversary 20" Medium Ride Cymbal is perfect for drummers seeking authentic vintage Turkish tone with a little more presence and articulation. Its combination of handcrafted craftsmanship, dynamic response and timeless musicality makes it a superb centrepiece for any discerning drummer's setup.
