Turkish Cymbals John Blackwell Signature Series

Powerful groove, handmade sound

The John Blackwell Signature Series from Turkish Cymbals is a tribute to one of the most expressive drummers in modern music history. In close collaboration with John Blackwell Jr. – known for his work with Prince, Justin Timberlake, and Patti LaBelle – a cymbal series was created that combines funk, precision, and musical depth .

Made from high-quality B20 bronze and entirely hand-hammered and lathed, this series delivers everything professional drummers need:

- Crystal clear stick definition ,

- Dry, controlled sounds ,

- Trashy Chinese accents ,

- And fast responding crashes with short decay .

The combination of a brilliantly polished surface and a raw, untreated bell creates a strong visual and acoustic presence. Particularly characteristic are the heavy 21" ride with its focused ping, the sensitive 13" hi-hat with its fast chick, and the jazz-inspired 22" ride with its vintage tonality.

This series is ideal for musical genres such as funk, R&B, soul, rock, fusion, jazz, and hip-hop . Whether on stage or in the studio, the John Blackwell Signature Series stands for expressive playing, dynamic control, and cross-genre versatility .
