Turkish Cymbals X-TR Dark Crash – Warm, Dark and Cutting

The X-TR Dark series from Turkish Cymbals combines the best of two worlds: traditional Turkish craftsmanship from Istanbul combined with a modern manufacturing process – refined by a unique, large hammering pattern and a darker finish. The result is a full-bodied sound with shorter sustain and deep overtones – the dark voice within the X-TR family. With their Medium weight, the X-TR Dark cymbals deliver a warm, driving sound that excels both on stage and in the studio. As one of the most accessible series in the Turkish Cymbals catalog, the X-TR Dark cymbals make professional B20 quality affordable for all drummers – without compromising on sound.

Sound Character: Warm, Dark and Controlled

The X-TR Dark Crash in 19" delivers a warm, dark sustain – cutting, without excessive brilliance. The crash attack is direct and full-bodied, while the shorter sustain keeps the mix tidy. The large 19" surface combines a fast response with a voluminous, dark body of sound. Thanks to its controlled character, it also works superbly as a secondary ride – the large hammering pattern and the darker finish shape both look and tone in equal measure.

Applications: Grunge, Rock, Funk, Blues and Jazz-Fusion

In Grunge and Rock, the X-TR Dark Crash sets warm, assertive accents. In Funk and Blues, the dark, controlled crash attack excels. In Jazz-Fusion, its short sustain also makes it a superb secondary ride.
