Turkish Cymbals NJG Ride Light – Open, Sensitive and Dry
The NJG series (New Jazz Generation) by Turkish Cymbals takes a new approach to jazz cymbal sound: dry, dark, controlled and short. The core of this series is its unique surface – a brush-like finish that creates an even, matte and granular texture on both sides of the cymbal. This texture shortens sustain, reduces uncontrolled overtones and produces an earthy, focused tonal character unreachable with polished or traditional cymbals. The stick sound remains warm and musical – the NJG series sounds dark and controlled without becoming sterile or lifeless.
Sound Character: Light, Open and Responsive
The NJG Ride Light in 22” is the lighter, more sensitive version of the NJG Ride. The Thin construction produces a more open response and faster reaction – the cymbal responds fully to even the lightest touches. The brush-like finish remains fully effective: the sound is dry, dark and controlled, but the lighter construction adds an openness and musicality that the Medium model does not offer. Ideal for drummers seeking the dry NJG character in a responsive, light ride.
Applications: Blues, Jazz-Fusion, Latin, Soul and Funk
The NJG Ride Light is aimed at drummers playing in sensitive, dynamic contexts. In Traditional Jazz and Blues the light construction enables nuanced brush and stick playing with organic, dark character. In Jazz-Fusion and Latin the open wash offers creative possibilities for expressive ride patterns. In Soul and Funk the fast response is ideal for precise, rhythmic grooves.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every NJG cymbal is crafted in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul from the secret B20 bronze alloy – 80% copper, 20% tin – hand-cast, heated and hammered by experienced master craftsmen. The brush-like finish is the result of a special surface treatment process requiring artisan skill and deep material knowledge. We at Cymballand are proud, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, to bring this series directly to you – without intermediaries, at the best price.
