Information

The Istanbul Agop Special Edition 22" Fusion Ride Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Handcrafted in Istanbul from traditional B20 bronze alloy, this ride cymbal is part of the Special Edition Fusion series, developed from a long-standing collaboration with the Cymbalholic community. It features a distinctive lathing profile, with vintage-style lathing on the top surface and very light Agop Signature-style lathing on the underside, contributing to a complex and refined tonal structure. Extensive hand hammering further enhances its character, while the 22" diameter and carefully balanced weight provide a strong fundamental tone with excellent projection and articulation.

This ride cymbal delivers a dark, complex voice with pronounced stick definition and a controlled, musical wash. The articulation remains clear and focused, sitting above a restrained layer of low, dry overtones, allowing for precise ride patterns without excessive spread. The bell has been refined in size and shape to offer improved clarity and presence, making it effective for both subtle phrasing and more defined accents. This cymbal is particularly well suited to jazz, fusion and modern styles where clarity, control and tonal depth are essential.
