Turkish Cymbals Euphonic China – Exotic Complexity

The Euphonic China by Turkish Cymbals is a china cymbal that goes far beyond the typical trash profile. It combines a rich, exotic and complex sound with absolute control – fast, explosive and always musical. A china for drummers who place depth and character above mere noise.

The Secret of the Euphonic Series: Brilliant Edges, Matte Centre

The Euphonic series by Turkish Cymbals embodies a unique combination of two contrasting surfaces that together produce an extraordinary sound. The edges are high-gloss polished – a brilliant finish that ensures fast, direct response. The centre and bell, by contrast, are matte and unlathed – not raw, but carefully treated through a special acid bath and intensive hammering. This unlathed, matte surface produces a controlled, dark and full sonic character that differs fundamentally from classically lathed cymbals. The result of this combination: the brilliant edges deliver speed of response and clear attack, while the unlathed surface builds a round, deep and complex fundamental sound. A very labour-intensive manufacturing process – for a sound that deserves it.

Sound Character: Rich, Exotic and Controlled

The Euphonic China delivers a perfect blend of rich, exotic and complex sound. The attack is fast and explosive – the brilliant edges ensure an immediate, loud response. The decay is controlled and dark, with a unique sonic depth created by the matte, unlathed surface. The result: a china sound suited to both powerful, loud accents and subtle nuances – rare in a china cymbal. In sizes 17", 18", 19" and 20", volume and complexity increase with size: the 17" model is dry and direct, the 20" model offers more body and a broader sonic character.

Applications: Rock, Progressive Rock, Blues and Contemporary

The Euphonic China is made for drummers seeking a china cymbal with genuine musical character. In Rock it sets explosive yet controlled accents immediately audible in the mix. In Progressive Rock the complex, multi-layered sonic character is a creative tool for extraordinary cymbal patterns. In Blues it delivers exotic tonal colours with an exotic touch. In Contemporary and Mainstream it is a versatile effect cymbal for drummers wanting to give their setup an unmistakable character.

Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price

Every Euphonic cymbal is crafted in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul following a tradition that reaches back centuries. The B20 bronze alloy – 80% copper, 20% tin – is hand-cast, heated and intensively hammered by experienced master craftsmen. The labour-intensive finishing process of high-gloss polishing, acid bath and special hammer treatment is the result of deep craft knowledge. We at Cymballand are proud, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, to bring this craftsmanship directly to you – without intermediaries, at the best price.
