Turkish Cymbals Classic Ride – Warm depth
The Classic Ride by Turkish Cymbals is a ride cymbal in 20" to 24" with a warm, darkly coloured sound and a clear bell. Turkish Cymbals calls Classic the most versatile series in its range and its professional standard line – and our experience confirms it: you can play practically any style of music with Classic cymbals. The series follows the tradition of dark, warm Istanbul cymbals: balanced weight, the typical dents left by hand hammering and a traditional finish. Its sound ranges from deep and earthy through full and broad to bright and clear.
Sound character: warm, dark and balanced
Played on the bow, the Classic Ride gives you a balanced blend of ping and shimmer – clear without being shrill. Underneath, a musical wash builds up that carries the groove without drowning it out. The clear, cutting bell speaks instantly and delivers defined accents. The 20" model responds quickly and directly, the 24" brings plenty of volume and depth, and the sizes in between combine both.
Applications: jazz, rock, funk and fusion
The Classic Ride is the most versatile ride in the Turkish Cymbals range. In a jazz quartet, it responds sensitively to brushes and light sticks and sounds warm and open. In rock and funk bands, the bell lays down powerful accents that cut through, and in fusion setups you benefit from the balance of clear articulation and musical wash. From a small jazz club to a big stage, it finds its place. Pair it with the Classic Hi-Hat, and your setup sounds warm and coherent from the chick to the ride bell.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every Classic cymbal is made in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul, where handmade B20 bronze cymbals have been crafted for more than 25 years. The bronze – 80% copper, 20% tin – is cast by hand, heated in traditional furnaces, hammered thousands of times by experienced master craftsmen and then lathed by hand. That’s why every Classic cymbal bears its own hammer marks, while the series character stays the same. At Cymballand, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, we bring this craft straight to you – no middlemen.
