Turkish Cymbals Lale Kardes Signature Crash – Brilliant, Warm and Washy
The Lale Kardes Signature Series by Turkish Cymbals is the work of one of the most fascinating personalities in the Turkish rock scene: Lale Kardeş – drummer of the bluesy garage-rock trio Ringo Jets – spent over a year collaborating with Turkish Cymbals to develop a series that embodies her very own sound. Inspired by the Blues and Heavy Rock tones of the 1960s and 70s, the result is a set of cymbals unmatched in size and character: large, loud, open and with a long, full shimmer. Every cymbal bears the Hançer logo – a dagger symbol that Kardeş drew herself. The series was featured in the renowned Modern Drummer Magazine in June 2018.
Sound Character: Large, Brilliant and Warm
The Lale Kardes Signature Crash in 18" and 20" is a crash cymbal of imposing presence. The sound is large, brilliant and warm – with a loose, washy sustain that rings long and fills the room. The attack is powerful and direct, the decay long and musical. Thanks to the Semi-Thin construction it responds sensitively to different playing intensities: from gentle, delicate accents to massive, loud crash moments that dominate the entire setup. The 18" model is somewhat drier and faster, while the 20" model delivers maximum volume and a long, expansive decay.
Applications: Blues, Psychedelic Rock, Rock'n'Roll and Heavy Rock
The Lale Kardes Crash is the cymbal for drummers wanting to place powerful, crash accents with strong character with a vintage-inspired sonic character. In Blues it sets warm, expressive crash moments with plenty of sustain. In Psychedelic Rock the broad, washy sustain unfolds its full atmospheric impact. In Rock'n'Roll and Heavy Rock of the 60s and 70s era, the crash projects with massive power – exactly the sound that set the standard in the studios and on the stages of that era.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every cymbal in the Lale Kardes Signature Series is crafted in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul from the secret B20 bronze alloy – 80% copper, 20% tin – hand-cast, heated, hammered and lathed. These cymbals are the largest in the entire Turkish Cymbals range – a deliberate decision that underscores the vintage rock character of the series. We at Cymballand are proud, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, to bring this craftsmanship directly to you – without intermediaries, at the best price.
