Turkish Cymbals X-TR Dark Crash – Dark warmth
The X-TR Dark Crash by Turkish Cymbals is a crash cymbal with a warm, dark sound. The X-TR Dark series is the dark voice of the X-TR family: Turkish Cymbals craftsmanship from Istanbul and modern production, combined with a large hammer pattern and a dark finish. The result is a full sound with deep overtones and a shorter sustain than Brilliant and Classic, while the Medium weight gives the cymbals a warm, driving tone. In terms of price, X-TR is one of the most affordable B20 series from Turkish Cymbals – worth a look for beginners and pros alike. In the USA, the series is known as Meta Dark: these are the same cymbals from Istanbul.
Sound character: warm, dark and controlled
The X-TR Dark Crash has a direct, full attack: cutting, but without excessive brilliance. After that, the sound turns warm and dark, with a short sustain that keeps the mix tidy. At 19", the crash combines a quick response with a big, dark body of sound. The large hammer pattern and the dark finish shape both the look and the tone.
Applications: grunge, rock, funk, blues and jazz fusion
The X-TR Dark Crash is for drummers after a dark, controlled crash sound. When the grunge or rock band gets loud, it adds warm accents that hold their own next to the distorted guitars, and in funk and blues grooves its crashes come across dark and measured. Thanks to its short sustain, it also works as a second ride – in jazz fusion, for example, when you switch between crash accents and ride patterns. Alongside the X-TR Dark Ride, your setup sounds dark throughout.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every X-TR Dark cymbal is made in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul from B20 bronze – 80% copper, 20% tin. The bronze is cast, hammered partly by hand and partly by machine, and then lathed. This combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern production ensures consistent sound quality across all sizes and models. At Cymballand, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, we bring the X-TR series straight to you – no middlemen.
