Turkish Cymbals Xanthos-Jazz Ride – Warm, Washy and Versatile
The Xanthos-Jazz series from Turkish Cymbals features a unique three-part surface structure: The bell and edge are raw and unlathed – heavily hammered, with an organic, dark texture. The middle playing surface (bow) is traditionally lathed with a natural sheen – no high gloss, no lacquer, just the natural brilliance of the crafted bronze. The underside is fully lathed and polished, giving the cymbal enhanced projection and tonal brightness. The result is a warm, controlled sound with a rich tonal palette: quick response, musical overtones, and balanced stick definition – versatile, deeply characterful, and highly musical.
Sound Character: Warm, Washy and Crashable
The Xanthos-Jazz Ride in 20", 21", and 22" offers a warm, open sound that shines beautifully in dynamic passages. Despite its extended sustain, this ride retains a clear stick definition that never loses its precision. The special Raw-Traditional surface, combined with the fully polished underside, creates a perfect balance of warmth, complexity, and control. Thanks to its crashable nature, it excels flawlessly as both a ride and a crash effect cymbal – a true all-round talent. The 20" model is more responsive, while the 22" model offers deeper, more voluminous expression.
Applications: Blues, Latin, Pop-Rock, R'n'B, Soul, Funk, and Traditional Jazz
In Jazz and Blues, the warm, complex sound character delivers deep musicality. In Funk, Soul, and R'n'B, the balanced wash provides exceptional organic groove quality. In Latin, drummers appreciate the quick response and rich musical overtones. In Pop-Rock, its crashability serves seamlessly as a creative asset.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every Xanthos-Jazz 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 carefully hammered by experienced master craftsmen. The elaborate three-part surface treatment demands the highest craft precision. 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.
