The Istanbul Agop Sultan 18" China Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop Sultan 18" China Cymbal combines the explosive character of a traditional china cymbal with the dark, controlled voice that defines the acclaimed Sultan Series. Crafted from premium B20 bronze using traditional Turkish cymbal making techniques, it features the series' distinctive combination of lathed and unlathed surfaces, with an unlathed band and raw bell that work together to enhance stick definition, control overtones and produce a more focused, musical response.

The 18" diameter delivers a fast, responsive attack with a warm, trashy voice that remains controlled and articulate throughout its decay. The unique construction creates a darker, drier character than a traditional china cymbal, producing explosive accents with a focused wash and reduced sustain that won't overpower the rest of your kit. Highly expressive across a wide dynamic range, it responds equally well to subtle textures and powerful crashes, making it an incredibly versatile effects cymbal for both live performance and studio recording.

Ideal for rock, fusion, jazz, indie, alternative and studio work, the Sultan 18" China Cymbal offers the perfect balance of warmth, complexity and control, combining handcrafted Turkish character with a refined, contemporary china sound.
