Turkish Cymbals Apex Ride – Powerful precision
The Apex Ride by Turkish Cymbals is built for modern setups. Its slightly oversized bell gives it plenty of projection and cutting power – a ride cymbal for anyone who wants to be heard on every groove. Hand-hammered in Istanbul from B20 bronze, made for stage and studio.
Sound character: defined, powerful and versatile
The powerful, slightly oversized bell delivers a clear, defined bell sound with lots of projection. On the bow, the ride articulates cleanly and directly, without blurring into an uncontrolled wash. The polished centre of the Apex series gives a focused, dry tone, while the densely lathed edge lets you open it up into a wide crash when you need to. That makes the Apex Ride a precise ride and a powerful crash-ride in one. The B20 bronze gives the sound complex overtones and depth – more than cheap alloys can achieve.
Applications: rock, funk, pop and live performance
The Apex Ride is for drummers who need to hold their own on big stages. With its Heavy construction and cutting power, it easily keeps up in loud rock and hard rock, but works just as well in funk and modern pop, where the ride has to spell out every pattern clearly. On the strong bell, Latin rhythms, funk patterns and classic rock grooves sound lively and punchy. The Apex Ride comes in 20" and 21": the 20" model responds faster and sounds more direct, while the 21" model has a little more depth, sustain and body.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
For more than 25 years, Turkish Cymbals has been making its cymbals in Istanbul using methods that go back to the early 17th century. The bronze is cast, the blanks are heated until red-hot in traditional furnaces, and experienced master craftsmen then hammer them by hand thousands of times. The B20 bronze – 80% copper, 20% tin – provides the tonal complexity Turkish Cymbals is known for worldwide. Every Apex Ride is a handcrafted one-of-a-kind. At Cymballand, we bring this craft straight to you as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals – no middlemen, at the best price.
