Turkish Cymbals Xanthos-Jazz Series

The Xanthos-Jazz series by Turkish Cymbals is a particularly refined line with a unique Raw-Traditional finish. The top side features a raw bell, a finely lathed central area with a natural shine and a hard-hammered, unlathed edge. The fully lathed and polished underside gives the cymbal visual brightness and ensures a clearer projection. Every Xanthos-Jazz cymbal is made by hand in Istanbul from premium B20 bronze.

Warm, controlled sound with musical overtones

This combination allows for a warm, controlled sound with a rich tonal colour, a fast response and a balanced stick definition: the crash impresses with a warm attack and a controlled sustain, the hi-hat with a warm chick, the ride with a warm wash and a clear stick-sound, and the Splash Reverse Sizzle adds a special touch with its dark accent and fine shimmer. Anyone seeking similarly warm, versatile cymbals will also find them in the Vintage Soul and Zephyros series.

Musical styles and cymbals in the series

With its medium-thin weight, the Xanthos-Jazz series is perfect for blues, latin, pop-rock, R'n'B, soul, funk and Traditional Jazz, ideal for demanding drummers seeking character and versatility. The series includes a Crash with a warm attack, a Hi-Hat with a warm chick, a Ride with a clear stick-sound, as well as a Splash Reverse Sizzle as a dark accent. This lets you build a warm, characterful setup from a single series.
