The Istanbul Agop Traditional 16” Dark 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 long-established Traditional series, representing a classic Turkish cymbal design. It is fully lathed on both the top and bottom surfaces, producing a rich, warm tonal foundation with a highly musical response. Extensive hand hammering further refines its character, while the 16" diameter and thin weight provide a fast, responsive feel with a balanced, versatile profile suitable for a wide range of applications.

This crash cymbal delivers a dark, punchy attack with a quick response and controlled wash. The fully lathed construction allows for a smooth, warm spread, while the darker voicing keeps high-frequency overtones in check, resulting in a more focused and musical decay. It opens up easily at lower dynamics, making it highly responsive for both subtle accents and more assertive playing. This cymbal is well suited to a broad range of styles including jazz, pop, rock and studio work where versatility and control are essential.
