Turkish Cymbals Kurak China Thin – Light and exotic
“Kurak” is the Turkish word for “dry” – and that is exactly how this series sounds. In the Kurak series by Turkish Cymbals, both sides of every cymbal are left completely raw and unlathed: no lathing, no polishing, just pure B20 bronze in its most natural form. The result is a dark, earthy and dry sound – direct and organic. The Kurak models (Medium-Heavy) have a larger bell and more weight for projection and the power to cut through. The Jazz and Thin versions are thinner and lighter, respond faster and are made for more delicate playing.
Sound character: fast, raw and light
The Kurak China Thin in 17" and 22" is the lighter version of the Kurak China. The thin construction gives it a very fast response and a short, controlled decay – while the raw Kurak character stays fully intact. The 17" model is compact, direct and dry. The 22" model is unusually large for a thin china: more body, more projection and a broad, dark china sound – and it still responds quickly. A rare combination.
Applications: Soul, R’n’B, Rock, Latin, Jazz-Fusion and Funk
If you want the raw Kurak sound with a quicker response, reach for the China Thin. In Jazz-Fusion and Latin, the thin construction allows fast, precise china accents. In Rock, the 22" model delivers powerful, dark accents with a broad sound, while the 17" model provides short, precise explosions in Funk and Soul.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every Kurak cymbal is made in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul from B20 bronze – 80% copper, 20% tin – hand-cast using a traditional process, heated and carefully hammered by experienced master craftsmen. No lathing, no high-gloss finish – the raw bronze keeps its original surface. The result is a cymbal that looks as if it were made centuries ago and sounds like the earth itself. At Cymballand, we are proud to bring this authentic craftsmanship straight to you as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals – no middlemen, at the best price.
