Turkish Cymbals Apex China – Aggressive Trash Sound
The Apex China by Turkish Cymbals is the secret weapon for drummers who want to give their setup a raw, aggressive character. Its striking profile, with the wide rim curving sharply upward, isn’t merely a visual flourish – it’s the acoustic key to one of the most distinctive cymbal sounds in the drumming world. Handcrafted in Istanbul from B20 bronze, for drummers who make no compromises.
Sound Character: Trashy, Explosive and Unmistakable
The Apex China delivers a decidedly trashy, explosive sound that instantly sets itself apart from every other cymbal in the mix. The sharply upturned rim creates that signature aggressive tone – sharp, cutting and deliberately provocative. The response is lightning-fast, the sustain short and controlled. Yet thanks to the B20 bronze alloy, the sound stays musical: the rich overtones that only genuine B20 bronze can develop give the cymbal depth and character – not a flat noise, but an instrument with personality. The Apex China is available in 16” and 18”: the 16” responds faster and sounds drier, while the 18” offers more body and a slightly extended sustain.
Musical Styles & Applications: Metal, Rock, Punk and Modern Drumming
The Apex China is the cymbal for drummers who want to make a powerful statement. It’s ideal for Metal, Rock and Punk – wherever an explosive, cutting accent makes the difference. Many modern drummers also use China cymbals as a stack element, combined with a splash or crash for hybrid soundscapes in electronic-acoustic drumming. The reverse profile makes the cymbal close instantly on every strike – perfect for fast, short accents in rapid Metal or Punk patterns.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Crafting a China cymbal is one of the most demanding tasks in cymbal making. The intricate profile with its signature upturned rim is shaped by hand at Turkish Cymbals – a process that demands decades of experience. For over 25 years, the Istanbul workshop has produced B20 bronze cymbals using methods that reach back to the early 17th century. As the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, Cymballand gives you direct access to this craftsmanship – at the fairest price, with no middlemen.
