Turkish Cymbals FX Crash – Modern Trash Sound
The FX Crash by Turkish Cymbals is a crash cymbal for drummers seeking maximum effect with minimal sustain. The perforations transform a classic crash cymbal into a precise effect instrument – explosive in attack, instantly gone in decay.
The Secret of the FX Series: Thin, Brilliant and Perforated
The FX series by Turkish Cymbals follows a clear principle: thin, brilliant and with targeted perforations. The holes in the cymbal are no decorative element – they are the acoustic centrepiece of the entire series. Each perforation deliberately interrupts the vibration transfer in the bronze body, resulting in an extremely short decay and a pronounced trashy sonic character. The brilliant finish of the surface combined with the thin construction ensures a lightning-fast response unachievable in thicker, unpolished cymbals. The result: a modern effect cymbal sound that is instantly recognisable.
Sound Character: Explosive, Trashy and Short
The FX Crash opens with a loud, trashy attack and closes immediately thanks to the perforations – no expansive wash, no uncontrolled ringing. This fast, clean closure makes the FX Crash a precision instrument for drummers wanting to place their accents clearly without overloading the mix. The brilliant finish provides a gleaming appearance that is as eye-catching on stage as the sound is ear-catching. In sizes 16", 17" and 18", volume and body vary – the 16" model is dry and direct, the 18" model projects more powerfully.
Applications: Rock, Progressive, Jungle, Jazz-Fusion and Contemporary
The FX Crash is ideal for drummers playing in loud, powerful setups while maintaining full control over their crash sound. In Rock and Progressive it delivers explosive accents without sonic overload. In Jungle and modern electronic setups the short, dry decay is exactly what the groove needs. In Jazz-Fusion and Contemporary the FX Crash works as a creative effect instrument for unconventional musical statements.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every FX cymbal is crafted in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul following a tradition that reaches back centuries. The B20 bronze alloy – 80% copper, 20% tin – is hand-cast, heated and hammered by experienced master craftsmen. The targeted perforations are applied with precision – a process requiring artisan skill to optimally control the sound. 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.
