Turkish Cymbals Prestige-TR Series

The Prestige TR series by Turkish Cymbals was developed specifically for jazz drummers in search of a deep, dry and dark sound picture. The fully hand-hammered cymbals have a matt-black surface – without lacquer and completely unlathed – that is not only visually unique but also contributes to a controlled, warm and nuanced sound. Every cymbal is hammered by hand in Istanbul from premium B20 bronze.

Dark, dry sound with a soft ping

The Prestige TR cymbals offer a shortened sustain, a clear stick definition and a soft ping that unfolds superbly in acoustic and dynamic styles. The result is a dark, cultivated sound spectrum with aesthetic depth. Anyone seeking similarly dark, dry-warm cymbals will also find them in the Cappadocia and Dark Hammer series.

Musical styles and cymbals in the series

Despite their jazz-oriented character, these cymbals are extremely versatile and excellently suited to jazz-fusion, soul, funk, R’n’B, latin and traditional jazz. The series includes a Crash with a dark attack and expressive character, a Hi-Hat with a dry, dark chick and strong presence, and a Ride with a dark stick sound and controlled wash. This lets you build a complete, dark-timbred setup from a single series.
