The ride cymbal is the rhythmic backbone of the kit – the surface on which time, groove and dynamics are carried for hours on end. At Turkish Cymbals, every ride is made 100% by hand in Istanbul: cast from premium B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin), hand-hammered and lathed. The result is a defined ping with a balanced sustain and a clearly articulated bell.
From the dry jazz ping to the assertive rock ride
Our range covers the entire sonic spectrum – from dark, dry rides with controlled stick definition and a short wash to brighter, assertive models with full projection. For warm, nuanced time in jazz, funk and soul, the Kurak and Jazz series are ideal. For those seeking a clear, assertive ping in rock, metal or progressive, the Xanthos-Cast and Raw Dark series provide the right voice. Dark vintage tones with a controlled ping come from the Prestige-TR series, while the Vintage Soul series delivers the classic Turkish jazz ride with a crashable character.
Size and weight – what matters
Most of our rides sit in the classic 20″ to 22″ range: a 20″ ride responds faster and crashes flexibly, while 21″ and 22″ models deliver more volume, a clearer ping and longer sustain. For special applications we also carry Flat Rides without a pronounced bell for dry, controlled time, as well as Sizzle Rides with rivets, whose fine wash is especially prized in jazz and the studio. A thin, dark ride suits subtle time-keeping, while a heavy ride with a large bell cuts through loud setups.

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!
