Turkish Cymbals Ad Astra Bell – Melodic accents
The Ad Astra series by Turkish Cymbals takes its name from the Latin motto “Ad astra per aspera” – “Through hardship to the stars”. It was developed by Turkish drummer and cymbal designer Özgür Can Öney together with the master craftsmen of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul, drawing on more than 20 years of stage, touring and studio experience. The result is a big, dark sound that stays controlled and has plenty of texture. Visually, the cymbals recall an Ottoman shield: a dark finish that comes out of the furnace, a natural, unlathed surface and a strikingly large bell.
Sound character: clear, defined and melodic
The Ad Astra Bells come in 6", 8" and 10" – pitched high, mid and low and tonally matched to one another. They are thick and heavy, which gives them a full bell tone with warm resonance. Played on its own, each bell cymbal delivers a clear, precise note with the subtly dark character of the Ad Astra series. Put all three together and you can play melodic and percussive patterns that add layers of tonal colour to your setup. One customer from our community sums it up like this: “Top-class cymbals – they blend superbly with the other sizes and with the rest of the kit.”
Applications: creative accents, fusion, world music and percussion
The Ad Astra Bells give drummers and percussionists new sounds for their setup. They can carry the rhythm like a ride – only with a completely different, darker character. In fusion, progressive rock and world music they give the groove melodic anchor points. In acoustic percussion setups they make a versatile effects instrument: precise and tonally complex.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every Ad Astra cymbal is made in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul, following a tradition that goes back centuries. The B20 bronze – 80% copper, 20% tin – is cast by hand, heated in traditional furnaces and hammered by hand thousands of times by experienced master craftsmen. Only the bell is lathed; the rest of the surface is deliberately left raw and untreated. That gives every cymbal an organic, natural character that no factory can reproduce. At Cymballand, we are proud to bring this craft straight to you as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals – no middlemen, at the best price.
