Turkish Cymbals Studio Ride – Lively, Focused and Versatile

The Studio series by Turkish Cymbals is an exceptional series with a three-part surface structure that equally defines sound and appearance: bell and edge are polished raw – unlathed, without visible hammer strikes – and give the cymbal a warm, organic fundamental character. The middle bow area is fully lathed and brilliantly polished – it provides clarity, projection and brightness. The underside is fully lathed and brilliant. The result: a clean, powerful sound that moves effortlessly between Rock, Pop, Funk, Contemporary, R’n’B and Jazz – both in the studio and on stage.

Sound Character: Lively Ping, Focused Bell, Balanced Sustain

The Studio Ride in 20”, 21” and 22” is the centrepiece of the Studio series. The brilliantly polished bow surface delivers a lively ping with plenty of presence, while the raw bell produces a powerful, focused bell tone. The fine stick definition enables precise articulation at every dynamic. The balanced sustain makes this ride equally suited to rhythmic ride work and expressive accents. The 20” model is more responsive, the 22” model deeper and more voluminous.

Applications: Rock, Pop, Funk, Contemporary, R’n’B and Jazz

In Rock and Pop the lively ping delivers presence and projection. In Funk and R’n’B the focused bell tone provides rhythmic precision. In Jazz and Contemporary the combination of warmth and clarity delivers exceptional balance.

Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price

Every Studio 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 – polished raw bell and edge, brilliant bow and fully lathed underside – demands the highest craft precision and experience. 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.
