The Kurak series from Turkish Cymbals is one of the company's most original and distinctive lines. These cymbals feature an unlathed, raw surface , which produces a dry, earthy sound with minimal overtones —direct, focused, and full of personality.
Thanks to their powerful stick definition and clearly articulated attack, they are ideal for controlled playing that combines musical expression with tonal clarity . Kurak cymbals respond instantly, with a short decay and natural sound—especially popular with drummers who work with dynamics and texture .
This series is perfectly suited for music genres such as jazz, fusion, Latin, R&B, soul, funk, and rock . It impresses both in the studio with its clean tonality and live with its defined presence in the mix.
A special feature: Most series of Turkish cymbals are originally processed on the basis of the raw Kurak blanks - Kurak therefore stands for the original sound of handmade cymbals .
