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 .
The Turkish Cymbals Finder helps you quickly find the perfect cymbal for your style. Filter by series, type, size, finish, or music genre and explore the wide range of handcrafted B20 cymbals by Turkish Cymbals – directly from Berlin, since 2015.
Wie immer ein sehr angenehmer Ablauf der Bestellung, Lieferung sehr schnell und zuverlässig (auch wie immer) und das Becken von Turkish ist, wie immer wundervoll musikalisch! Bei Cymballand ist man in den besten Händen!
Nice and smooth sound that fits perfect with the classic ride and the 16" crash. A pleasure to add a new member to my Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage Nouveau. She smiles everytime we meet. ;)

Sound pretty cool - I use a heavy meinl sizzle chain and that works really well together.
Hi Nicolas,
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! I’m really happy to hear that the Jazz Crash sounds cool and works so well with your heavy Meinl sizzle chain - that’s a fantastic combination!
It’s always great to know how drummers are using their cymbals and what setups work best for them.
Enjoy playing, and if you ever need anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Best regards
