İstanbul Agop Cymbals 23" Agop Signature Ride Cymbal (AGR23)

A Historic Series From a Lifetime of Dedication

The Istanbul Agop Signature Series cymbals are the result of a project to create a range of cymbals according to the exact specifications detailed in a notebook belonging to master cymbalsmith Agop Tomurcuk. In his notes, Agop had compiled a lifetime of cymbal making secrets and ideas with the aspiration of creating this very series. Made according to these guidelines, Istanbul has fulfilled the last project of Tomurcuk's life and now offers you a piece of history; a range of cymbals that have resulted from a lifetime of dedication and passion for the highest standards in handmade quality.

The Agop Signature Series produce a sound that is extremely dark and trashy, with dry and complex elements. 100 percent handmade from cast B20 bronze in Turkey, these cymbals have a vintage 1960s hammering style and a traditional rustic dark brownish surface.

The Istanbul Agop Signature 23'' Ride has a soft and dry attack with warm overtones that work particularly well in jazz, funk, RnB and more. The Agop Signature ride is also great for mellow crashing and features a pearly, slightly integrated bell sound. Any setting is ideal with this cymbal if you enjoy its dark, complex and trashy character.
