Turkish Cymbals NJG Ride Flat – Percussive, Dry and Direct
The NJG series (New Jazz Generation) by Turkish Cymbals takes a new approach to jazz cymbal sound: dry, dark, controlled and short. The core of this series is its unique surface – a brush-like finish that creates an even, matte and granular texture on both sides of the cymbal. This texture shortens sustain, reduces uncontrolled overtones and produces an earthy, focused tonal character unreachable with polished or traditional cymbals. The stick sound remains warm and musical – the NJG series sounds dark and controlled without becoming sterile or lifeless.
Sound Character: Extremely Dry, Percussive and Direct
The NJG Ride Flat in 22” combines two extremes: the dry, dark tonal philosophy of the NJG series with the percussive, bell-less character of a flat ride. Without a conventional bell, this cymbal produces an extremely dry, direct stick sound with minimal wash – pure, percussive attack that defines every groove precisely. The brush-like finish reinforces this effect further: sustain is reduced even more, the sound remains dark and focused. A ride that dispenses with everything superfluous.
Applications: Blues, Jazz-Fusion, Latin, Soul and Funk
The NJG Ride Flat is a specialist for drummers seeking maximum control and minimal wash in a dark, dry tonal character. In Jazz and Blues it delivers a restrained, controlled ride sound without any bell dominance. In Jazz-Fusion the percussive character is a creative tool for unconventional rhythmic patterns. In Latin, Soul and Funk the extreme dryness delivers precise, defined patterns.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every NJG cymbal is crafted in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul from the secret B20 bronze alloy – 80% copper, 20% tin – hand-cast, heated and hammered by experienced master craftsmen. The brush-like finish is the result of a special surface treatment process requiring artisan skill and deep material knowledge. We at Cymballand are proud, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, to bring this series directly to you – without intermediaries, at the best price.
