Turkish Cymbals Apex China – Aggressive trash sound
The Apex China by Turkish Cymbals gives your setup a raw, aggressive character. Its striking profile, with a wide edge that curves steeply upwards, isn’t just a visual statement – it’s the reason behind one of the most distinctive sounds on the drum kit. Shaped by hand in Istanbul from B20 bronze.
Sound character: trashy, explosive and unmistakable
The Apex China sounds decidedly trashy and explosive and instantly stands out from every other cymbal in the mix. The steeply upturned edge creates that typical aggressive china sound – sharp, cutting and deliberately brash. The response is lightning-fast, the sustain short and controlled. Even so, the B20 bronze keeps the sound musical: its rich overtones give the cymbal depth – not a flat noise, but an instrument with character. The Apex China comes in 16" and 18": the 16" is faster and drier, while the 18" has more body and a little more sustain.
Applications: metal, rock, punk and modern drumming
When you want a hit to land like an exclamation mark, reach for the Apex China. In metal, rock and punk it makes the difference exactly where things need to get cutting and loud. Many drummers also pair a china with a splash or crash to build a stack – especially in hybrid setups that combine electronic drums with an acoustic kit. The inverted profile cuts the note off quickly after every stroke – short and explosive, just right for accents in fast metal and punk patterns.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Building a china cymbal is one of the most demanding jobs in cymbal making. The profile with its upturned edge is shaped by hand at Turkish Cymbals – and that takes decades of experience. For more than 25 years, the Istanbul workshops have been producing B20 cymbals using methods that go back to the early 17th century. At Cymballand, we bring this craft straight to you as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals – at the best price, with no middlemen.
