The Raw Dark series by Turkish Cymbals was developed for modern drummers in search of a powerful, dark and dry sound. With its raw, untreated surface, medium-heavy weight and large-dimensioned bells, this series delivers an uncompromising sonic aesthetic for demanding musical contexts. Every cymbal is hammered by hand in Istanbul from premium B20 bronze.
Powerful, dark sound with precise stick definition
The Raw Dark cymbals are distinguished by a precise stick definition, a short sustain and a controlled dynamic. Whether full ride accents, controlled crash waves with mallets or a crispy chick on the hi-hat, the oversized bell additionally provides a deep, assertive bell character. Anyone seeking similarly powerful, dark and raw cymbals will also find them in the Xanthos-Cast and Rock Beat Raw series.
Musical styles and cymbals in the series
With its clarity, power and character, the Raw Dark series is ideal for grunge, metal, progressive and rock, but also for drummers seeking an expressive sound with a dark tonal colour. The series includes a Crash with a dark attack and full projection, a Hi-Hat with a dark chick and earthy character, and a Ride with a dark wash and a deep bell character. This lets you build a complete, powerful setup from a single series.
