Turkish Cymbals Jazz Series

The Jazz series by Turkish Cymbals brings you warm, colourful jazz cymbals with a delicate response. They’re made from B20 bronze in Istanbul: cast by hand and hammered by hand – you can clearly see the deep hammer marks on the surface – then lathed all over and given a Traditional finish. The Crash, Hi-Hat and Ride each come in Medium-Thin and in a lighter Thin version.

Warm, colourful sound with a controlled sustain

The sound of the Jazz cymbals is warm, dark and colourful, but not dry. The deep hammer marks provide a controlled sustain. The cymbals respond even to light strokes and follow your playing; with brushes, mallets or sticks, you draw different colours out of them. Still, they aren’t quiet cymbals: they’re sensitive and dynamic, and rock drummers play them, too.

Musical styles and cymbals in the series

The Jazz series is made for traditional jazz, jazz-fusion, soul, R'n'B and funk – from brush playing to powerful grooves with sticks. The series includes the Jazz Crash with a warm attack and musical sustain and the faster Jazz Crash Thin; the Jazz Hi-Hat with a sharp chick and the more delicate Jazz Hi-Hat Light; and the Jazz Ride with a warm wash and the open Jazz Ride Light. You can put together a typical setup of a 14" hi-hat, 16" crash and 20" ride entirely from this series. Each model also appears under its type: crash cymbals, hi-hat cymbals and ride cymbals. You’ll find similarly warm cymbals in the Millennium series and the Vintage Soul series. The Jazz series shouldn’t be confused with the Xanthos-Jazz series: that’s a separate series, on which only the area between the bell and the edge is lathed.
