Turkish Cymbals Ad Astra Crash-Ride – Crash and ride in one
The Ad Astra series by Turkish Cymbals takes its name from the Latin motto “Ad astra per aspera” – “Through hardship to the stars”. It was developed by Turkish drummer and cymbal designer Özgür Can Öney together with the master craftsmen of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul, drawing on more than 20 years of stage, touring and studio experience. The result is a big, dark sound that stays controlled and has plenty of texture. Visually, the cymbals recall an Ottoman shield: a dark finish that comes out of the furnace, a natural, unlathed surface and a strikingly large bell.
Sound character: full-bodied, warm and versatile
The Ad Astra Crash-Ride does both: powerful crash accents with a long, full sustain and a clear, articulate ride sound with a present but controlled wash. That makes it one of the most versatile cymbals in the Ad Astra series. The large playing area offers a wide tonal range – from big, full crashes to flowing ride patterns, depending on how you play it. The unlathed surface adds organic depth and the typically dark Ad Astra tone.
Applications: rock, funk, fusion and progressive
If you want to stay flexible, the Ad Astra Crash-Ride is a good call. In rock and progressive it delivers crashes with substance; in funk and fusion it carries the groove as a ride with clear articulation. In large setups it works as a second ride, in compact ones as the only crash-ride cymbal – without losing its character. With the Ad Astra Ride and the Ad Astra Crash, it forms a matched set.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every Ad Astra cymbal is made in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul, following a tradition that goes back centuries. The B20 bronze – 80% copper, 20% tin – is cast by hand, heated in traditional furnaces and hammered by hand, stroke by stroke, by experienced master craftsmen. Only the bell is lathed; the rest of the surface is deliberately left raw and untreated. That gives every cymbal an organic, natural character that no factory can reproduce. At Cymballand, we are proud to bring this craft straight to you as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals – no middlemen, at the best price.
