Turkish Cymbals Bee Series

The Bee series by Turkish Cymbals stands out for its paper-thin construction and a unique lathing process that shapes the curved, supple outer edge of these effect cymbals. This series offers an impressive range of sonic characters: from lively, articulate splash sounds to powerful, dynamic crash effects. Every Bee cymbal is made by hand in Istanbul: cast from premium B20 bronze, hand-hammered and lathed with a special process that gives these effect cymbals their unmistakable character.

Distinctive effect sound with immediate response

Thanks to its paper-thin construction, the Bee cymbal responds instantly and delivers a short, lively sound with a characteristic hiss. The curved edge ensures a controlled, slightly trashy tone that moves between crash, china and swish without ever settling into a single category. Played with sticks or with the hands, the Bee series responds with nuance and opens up unusual sonic textures. Anyone seeking equally experimental effect sounds will also find them in the Clatter and Comet series.

Musical styles and cymbals in the series

With its distinctive character, the Bee series is ideal for percussion, soundtrack and World Music, as well as for creative studio work and experimental sound design. The series includes the lively Bee Splash, with its peculiar hiss, and the versatile Bee Crash, which combines the sound of a crash, the character of a China and the breath of a swish. This lets you expand your drum kit and percussion setups with unique tonal colours.
