Turkish Cymbals Xanthos-Cast Ride – Dark, Powerful and Controlled
The Xanthos-Cast series from Turkish Cymbals features an unmistakable surface structure: The bell is lathed and brightly polished – delivering a powerful, focused bell tone with a clear ping. The rest of the bow is completely unlathed, deeply hammered, and dark polished – the deep hammer strikes create a characteristic dark brilliance that is neither raw nor classically brilliant. The result is a dark, harmonic sound with a sharp, powerful punch: dark overtones with punchy highs and mids, controlled sustain, and an organic depth that sounds truly unique in this combination.
Sound Character: Powerful Dynamics with Controlled Depth
The Xanthos-Cast Ride in 20", 21", and 22" combines powerful dynamics with controlled depth. The unlathed, deeply hammered bow produces a dry, dark sound with reduced sustain – ideal for drummers who prefer their cymbals slightly quieter than the drums. The tone remains complex and assertive. The lathed, polished bell delivers a clearly focused ping that cuts through even in dense arrangements. The 20" model is more responsive, while the 22" model offers deeper, more voluminous expression.
Applications: Metal, Rock, Progressive Rock, and Blues
In Metal and Rock, the dark, powerful sound character delivers exceptional presence with controlled sustain. In Progressive Rock, drummers appreciate the combination of clear bell definition and organic sonic depth. In Blues, the warm, dark character perfectly complements an emotional playing style.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every Xanthos-Cast 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 deeply hammered by experienced master craftsmen. The elaborate surface treatment – lathed, polished bell and dark polished, unlathed bow – demands the highest craft precision 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.

Das 10" Clatter Splash ist noch sensibeler als das 12er, harmoniert aber perfektmit allen anderen. Danke Bülent, wieder ein Highlight!
Die Clatter Splashes sind schon von der Optik ein echter Hingucker.
