Turkish Cymbals NJG Ride Medium – Warm, Dry and Focused
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: Warm, Controlled and Dry
The NJG Ride Medium in 21” and 22” is the most powerful ride model in the NJG series. It offers a warm, controlled stick sound with shortened ping and reduced sustain – ideal for drummers who want to play with precise, clear articulation. The brush-like surface produces a dark, focused tonal character that cuts through beautifully in acoustic and dynamic jazz contexts. The high-quality bell delivers a powerful, focused bell tone with organic depth. The 21” model responds faster, the 22” model offers more volume and projection.
Applications: Blues, Jazz-Fusion, Latin, Soul, R’n’B and Funk
The NJG Ride Medium is the first choice for drummers seeking a dark, dry ride sound with warm stick definition. In Blues and Traditional Jazz the focused tonal character delivers precise rhythmic work with vintage-inspired warmth. In Jazz-Fusion drummers appreciate the balance between controlled ping and organic tonal character. In Latin, Soul, R’n’B and Funk the dark bell delivers rhythmic precision.
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.
