Turkish Cymbals Apex Ride – Powerful Precision
The Apex Ride by Turkish Cymbals is the centrepiece of any modern drum setup. With its signature, slightly oversized bell, it offers maximum projection and cutting power – a ride for drummers who want to be heard on every groove. Hand-hammered from B20 bronze in Istanbul, built for the stage and the studio.
Sound Character: Defined, Powerful and Versatile
The Apex Ride impresses with a powerful, slightly oversized bell that delivers clear, defined bell sounds with exceptional projection. The stick sound on the playing surface is precise and direct – cleanly articulate, without getting lost in an uncontrolled wash. The polished, untreated centre of the Apex series provides a focused, dry tone, while the densely lathed edge allows a wide crash spread when needed. This makes the Apex Ride a true all-round instrument: a precise rhythm cymbal and a powerful crash-ride in one. The B20 bronze alloy develops complex overtones that lend the sound depth and musical character – a mark of quality that cheaper alloys never reach.
Musical Styles & Applications: Rock, Funk, Pop and Live Performance
The Apex Ride was developed for drummers who have to hold their own on large stages. Thanks to its outstanding cutting power, it’s ideal for loud setups in Rock and Hard Pop, yet works just as convincingly in Funk and modern Pop, where a clearly defined ride sound is called for. The powerful bell section is especially suited to rhythmically precise playing – Latin rhythms, funk patterns or classic rock grooves come alive and punchy through its strong projection. The Apex Ride is available in 20” and 21”: the 20” reacts faster and sounds more direct, while the 21” offers a little more depth, sustain and body.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
For over 25 years, Turkish Cymbals has crafted its cymbals in Istanbul using methods that reach back to the early 17th century. Red-hot, glowing bronze discs are heated in traditional furnaces, cast, and then hammered thousands of times by hand by experienced masters. The secret B20 bronze alloy – with a 20% tin content – enables the harmonic complexity that has made Turkish Cymbals known the world over. Every Apex Ride is a handcrafted one-of-a-kind. As the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, Cymballand brings this craftsmanship directly to you – no middlemen, at the best price.
