Turkish Cymbals Crashes

The crash cymbal is the voice of the accent – the explosive peak of a fill, the sharp full stop of a phrase. At Turkish Cymbals, every crash is made 100% by hand in Istanbul: cast from premium B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin), hand-hammered and lathed. Every hammer blow shapes the sound – no cymbal is exactly like another.

From the dry jazz crash to the explosive rock accent

Our range covers the entire sonic spectrum – from thin, dark and dry crashes with a short decay to heavy, brilliant models with powerful projection. For warm, nuanced accents in jazz, funk and soul, the Kurak and Jazz series are ideal. For those seeking assertive volume in rock, metal or progressive, the Rock Beat and Ephesus series deliver the right energy. Complex, dark textures come from the Dark Hammer series, while the paper-thin effect cymbals of the Bee series provide fast, creative accents.

Size and weight – what matters

Smaller crashes (14–16″) respond faster, sound brighter and suit precise accents; larger models (18–20″) deliver more volume, longer sustain and a fuller fundamental. A paper-thin crash works as a subtle effect, a medium-heavy one as a defining main crash in the setup.
