The John Blackwell Signature series by Turkish Cymbals is a tribute to one of the most expressive drummers in modern music history. In close collaboration with John Blackwell Jr., a series was created that unites funk, precision and musical depth. Every cymbal is cast, hammered and lathed by hand in Istanbul from premium B20 bronze: the combination of a brilliant polished surface and a raw, unlathed bell ensures a strong visual and acoustic presence.
Dry, controlled sound with crystal-clear definition
The series offers everything a professional drummer needs: a crystal-clear stick definition, dry, controlled sounds, trashy china accents and fast-responding crashes with a short decay. The raw bell gives each cymbal an expressive, focused character with a powerful groove. Anyone seeking similarly warm, controlled funk and soul cymbals will also find them in the Rhythm & Soul and NJG series.
Musical styles and cymbals in the series
With its expressive, controlled character, the John Blackwell Signature series is ideal for funk, soul, rock and jazz – on stage and in the studio. The series includes a trashy China with an explosive character, a Crash as a Crash Thin with a fast response and warm sound, a Hi-Hat with a sharp chick and precise response, and a Ride with maximum projection and a crystal-clear ping, also as a Ride Jazz with an open wash and dark bell tone. This lets you build a complete, expressive setup from a single series.

Great cymbal! Just as thrashy & crashy as I want. Cuts great through anything else!
Hi Miha, great to hear that you're enjoying your beautiful Turkish Cymbals FX China 17”! Thanks for sharing your positive experience and four 5 stars! Keep on grooving
Die Hi-Hats klingen wirklich sensationell gut, ich bin total begeistert.
Einen Stern Abzug gibt es wegen der unprofessionellen und unzureichenden Verpackung. Die Becken wurden ohne Polsterung einfach nur lieblos in einer Plastiktüte in einem viel zu großen Karton verschickt. Da beide Becken Sizzles haben, kamen die Becken entsprechend verkratzt an. So etwas darf einem Händler nicht passieren.
Lieber Daniel,
vielen Dank für deine ehrliche Bewertung!
Es freut uns riesig zu hören, dass die Snake Hi-Hats klanglich so gut bei dir ankommen – das macht uns wirklich glücklich!
Aber zur Verpackung: Du hast absolut recht, und wir möchten uns dafür aufrichtig entschuldigen. Die Becken erreichen uns aus der Türkei leider oft in genau dieser Art verpackt, und wir haben sie in diesem Fall so weiterverschickt, wie sie bei uns ankamen. Das war ein Fehler, der uns nicht passieren darf – gerade bei Becken mit Sizzles ist eine ordentliche Polsterung absolut notwendig.
Wir werden künftig deutlich mehr Sorgfalt auf die Verpackung legen und sicherstellen, dass so etwas nicht noch einmal vorkommt.
Danke, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, uns darauf hinzuweisen.
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the Turkish Cymbals Euphonic Crash-Becken. It means a lot to us to hear that our product is meeting your expectations. We hope to see you again soon for your future perfect cymbal needs. Rock on!
