Turkish Cymbals Apex Series

The Apex series by Turkish Cymbals embodies a modern, powerful sound with clear definition. Its hallmark is the unique interplay between a polished, unlathed centre and a densely lathed edge – a striking contrast that gives every cymbal a clearly defined attack and a powerful, cutting bell. These medium to heavy cymbals combine volume, sustain and control in a balanced whole. Every Apex cymbal is made by hand in Istanbul: cast from premium B20 bronze, carefully hand-hammered and lathed – traditional craftsmanship that shapes an uncompromisingly modern sound.

Powerful, defined sound with full projection

The polished centre gives the Apex series its sharply drawn attack and maximum projection, while the lathed edge ensures a controlled, balanced crash spread. The result is an open, cutting sound that holds its own effortlessly even in high-volume setups – without losing definition. The larger, glossy bells deliver a powerful, precise bell character, ideal for driving accents and clear ostinatos. Anyone seeking an equally powerful, modern sound will also find it in the Rock Beat Raw and Ephesus series.

Musical styles and cymbals in the series

With its powerful, clearly defined sound, the Apex series is made above all for metal and rock: from hard rock and modern metal to fusion, energy-packed live performances and punchy studio productions. The series covers the entire spectrum: from the powerful Crash, through the cutting Ride and the precise Hi-Hat with a sharp chick, to the aggressive, trashy China and the explosive Splashes. This lets you build a complete, sonically homogeneous setup from a single series.
