The Istanbul Agop Cindy Blackman OM 16" Crash Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Handcrafted in Istanbul from traditional B20 bronze alloy, this crash cymbal is part of the Cindy Blackman OM Signature series, designed to capture the tonal character of classic vintage Turkish cymbals with modern versatility. It features a fully lathed traditional finish combined with extensive hand hammering, producing a highly responsive and dynamically sensitive instrument. With a paper-thin to very thin weight and 16" diameter, it offers a fast, immediate response with a tightly controlled feel under the stick.

This crash cymbal delivers a dark, complex tonal profile with an explosive initial attack that quickly settles into a controlled, short decay. Despite its quick response, it produces a rich blend of frequencies with a low, dark fundamental and a subtle trashy edge. The wash remains contained and musical, while stick definition sits within the overall sound rather than projecting above it. This makes it particularly effective for jazz, fusion and studio applications where articulation, control and tonal nuance are essential.
