Turkish Cymbals Cappadocia Crash-Ride – Earthy Depth

The Cappadocia series by Turkish Cymbals takes its name from one of the most fascinating landscapes in the world: Cappadocia in central Anatolia – a world of volcanic rock, ancient cave cities and thousands of years of history. Like the landscape it is named after, this series combines unmistakable character with timeless depth. The unique dark hammering pattern and charcoal-black patina of the Cappadocia cymbals are not merely visually extraordinary – they are the direct expression of their earthy, dry and deeply musical sonic character.

Sound Character: Earthy, Dry and Versatile

The Cappadocia Crash-Ride in 19" is one of the most versatile cymbals in the series: it combines the explosive directness of a crash cymbal with the controlled articulation of a ride cymbal – while remaining true to its earthy, dry identity at all times. The sound opens with a powerful yet not overwhelming attack and decays with a medium, dry sustain – no uncontrolled wash, no cluttered overtones. It is precisely this restraint that makes it so musical: it accents without dominating. The charcoal-black patina and dark hammering pattern of the Cappadocia series give this cymbal an organic character that goes far beyond the ordinary.

Applications: Jazz, Funk and Grunge-Rock

The Cappadocia Crash-Ride is a cymbal for drummers who place character above volume. In Jazz it excels through its fine articulation and controlled sonic character – it carries the groove without overwhelming it. In Funk it delivers precise, dry accents with clear dynamics. In Grunge-Rock it surprises with a raw, earthy power that conventional crash-ride cymbals lack. Thanks to its suitability across all dynamic ranges – from gentle brush touches to full stick attack – this cymbal is a true all-rounder with an unmistakable personality.

Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price

Every Cappadocia cymbal is crafted in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul following a tradition that reaches back centuries. The secret B20 bronze alloy – 80% copper, 20% tin – is hand-cast, heated in traditional furnaces and hammered thousands of times by experienced master craftsmen. The characteristic dark hammering pattern of the Cappadocia series is the result of a unique finishing process – each cymbal bears the unmistakable signature of the master who shaped it. 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.
