A 16-inch ride is a rarity – and that's exactly its charm: ultra-compact, easy to carry and with a dry, focused ride sound that shines in quiet settings. Every ride at Cymballand is hand-hammered in Istanbul from pure B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin).
Series in this size
In 16 inches we carry the Flat Ride Sizzle from the Travel series: a flat profile without a bell for maximally dry control, plus sizzles that lay a fine, shimmering carpet under the short decay. You'll find more sizes in our ride cymbals overview.
What a 16-inch ride is made for
The 16" flat ride is built for quiet stages: unplugged gigs, café concerts, late-night practice rooms and any travel setup that has to fit into a small bag. The flat profile keeps the wash minimal, while the sizzle shimmer still provides richness – jazz, singer-songwriter and lounge grooves will thank you.
Cymballand has been the official Turkish Cymbals dealer in Germany since 2015. We ship hand-picked cymbals from Berlin. Find your 16-inch ride and order directly from Cymballand.
Ich bin total begeistert von dem gelieferten Jazzbecken.
Großartiges Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
Vielen Dank 🤗
Hallo Rolf, vielen Dank für deine 5 Sterne und die netten Worte! Es freut mich sehr, dass dir das John Blackwell Signature Ride so gut gefällt. Viel Spaß beim Spielen, und wenn du mal Fragen hast oder etwas Neues suchst, melde dich gern bei mir.
Eine interessante Mischung aus Splash und Mini Flat Ride. Eine Bereicherung für mein Set Up.
Hallo Simon,
vielen Dank für die fünf Sterne und für das Foto dazu. Die Beschreibung trifft es genau: Die Satellite Flat Bell ist irgendwo zwischen Splash und Mini Flat Ride angesiedelt, und genau diese Zwischenwelt macht sie so spannend. Schön zu hören, dass sie dein Set bereichert.
Really dark, loud hihats, works good as secondary hats for blastbeats when set not too washy.
Thanks for the order, and for this genuinely useful feedback. Dark and loud with control over the wash is exactly the Kurak character, and hearing that it holds up for blastbeats as secondary hats is a great data point for anyone in that scene. Enjoy them!
