Information

The Istanbul Agop Traditional 22" Dark Crash Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop Traditional 22" Dark Crash Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and delivers an enormous, dark and expressive crash with exceptional warmth and tonal complexity. As the largest model in the Traditional Dark Crash range, it combines traditional Turkish craftsmanship, extensive hand hammering and a fully lathed finish to create a powerful yet highly musical cymbal with remarkable dynamic range.

The expansive 22" diameter produces a deep fundamental pitch, broad projection and an enveloping wash that develops beautifully without becoming harsh or uncontrolled. Despite its size, the cymbal responds surprisingly quickly thanks to its thinner profile, opening up with a rich, dark attack before settling into a smooth, balanced sustain. It also performs exceptionally well as a crash-ride, offering clear stick definition alongside its full, expressive crash response.

Ideal for rock, blues, indie, cinematic music, contemporary worship and larger musical settings, the Traditional 22" Dark Crash Cymbal is perfect for drummers seeking a crash with maximum presence and musicality. Whether used for huge accents, swelling textures or expressive crash-riding, it delivers the unmistakable warmth and handcrafted character that define the Istanbul Agop Traditional Series.
