Turkish Cymbals X-TR Classic Ride – Warm ping
The X-TR Classic Ride by Turkish Cymbals is a ride cymbal with a warm ping and a finely defined bell. The X-TR Classic series combines the craftsmanship of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul with modern production. The traditional finish gives the cymbals a warm, slightly darker sound with an organic colour – a little richer and earthier than the X-TR Brilliant series. The Medium weight provides a fine, sensitive response with balanced sustain. In terms of price, X-TR is one of the most affordable B20 series from Turkish Cymbals – worth a look for beginners and pros alike. In the USA, the series is known as Meta Classic: these are the same cymbals from Istanbul.
Sound character: warm, articulate and controlled
On the bow, the X-TR Classic Ride gives you a cleanly defined ping; it speaks even when played lightly and articulates every stroke clearly. The sustain stays controlled, the wash round. The bell is precise, with warm, harmonic overtones – good for rhythmic accents on the bell. The traditional finish makes the sound a little darker and more organic than that of the X-TR Brilliant Ride.
Applications: jazz, soul, funk and pop
The X-TR Classic Ride suits drummers looking for a musical, versatile ride. In a jazz combo, it carries ride patterns with fine articulation, even in quiet passages. At soul and funk gigs, bow and bell stay clearly separated, and if pop is your thing, its sound blends organically into the mix. Team it up with the X-TR Classic Crash, and your setup keeps the same tonal colour from the ride pattern to the crash accent.
Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price
Every X-TR Classic cymbal is made in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul from B20 bronze – 80% copper, 20% tin. The bronze is cast, hammered partly by hand and partly by machine, and then lathed. This combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern production ensures consistent sound quality across all sizes and models. At Cymballand, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, we bring the X-TR series straight to you – no middlemen.
