This ride cymbal has a warm sound with a dark tone and has a good blend of ping and shimmer. The Classic Series is Turkish Cymbals' most versatile series. These cymbals are Turkish's standard professional line. Weight and hammering will probably remind you of the legendary old Zildjian K's. The sound range differs from dark and over full-bodied to bright tones, including all contemporary crash sounds. This extensive range of fully hand-hammered and lathed cymbals reflects the famous history of cymbal making in Istanbul.
Jazz Series · Cymbal Planet ID: TRI20RS01
A low sustained, dry and controlled sound. It has a unique stick definition and a great warm bell.
The unique finish of the Rhythm and Soul (R&S) line is the result of a quick acid bath and very light lathing. This gives the cymbals a bright, but not brilliant, color and leaves behind the pits of the hammer marks for a slightly raw appearance. The entire surface of the cymbal is hammered, save the bell, which is sparsely lathed on top and totally unlathed underneath. These models sport a low-profile bell and a fairly shallow bow, which contributes to their strong stick definition and dry wash. They are in the medium-light range and have a decent amount of flex. The hi-hats have a slightly steeper bell and a more dramatic bow, which gives them a somewhat brighter character, and they’re proportionally heavier and less flexible than the rides and crashes.

Weight: 2443g Size: 20”
A beautiful, musical bell with dark notes, a delicately defined ping, and a controlled shimmer. This cymbal is very versatile and has a sensitive stick attack.
Sehzade series is one of Turkish Cymbals' most adventurous offerings. Its underside is lathed and heavily hammered. The upper surface is a combination of lathed and unlathed hammered circles. The large, high-profile bell is unlathed. The darker sides of the cymbal look like leopard skin. The effect of the lathed and unlathed surface is what makes this cymbal so special. When you hit the outer lathed surface, and the cymbal produces a spicy, dark ride sound with lots of energy. When the drum stick is moved to the unlathed section, the sound dries out, giving greater stick definition. The unlathed bell is dry and clear.
Custom Series · Cymbal Planet ID: TRI20ST01
Brilliant bell tone. Strong and defined sound, lively and loud ping. Great stick definition.
Excellent for recording. Studio cymbals are very interesting visually, as well as sonically. The outer 2" circle of the top is deeply hammered, unlathed and left raw. This hammering process allows the sound to open more slowly when struck, producing a more defined note with controlled sustain. The remainder of the top surface is lathed and polished to a brilliant finish. The bell is raw with no visible hammer marks. The bottom of the Studio cymbals are lathed and brilliant throughout.
Moderate Series · Cymbal Planet ID: TRI20MO01
Condition: Brand New Status: In Stock (Ready to Ship)
Weight: 2629g Size: 20”
A fine and silvery sound, a great blend of spread and shimmer. This is a sensitive cymbal with brilliant overtones.
Produced with the all-around player in mind, these cymbals are casted with the same superior alloy as all other series (unlike box sets from other cymbal manufacturers who downgrade by using cheaper alloys). Moderate cymbals are hand-hammered, hand-lathed, and hand-polished to a brilliant finish. When you play on the Ride cymbal, the sound is silky-smooth, and blazes with a dark intensity.
Rock Series · Cymbal Planet ID: TRI20CD01
For heavy playing, but still stays under control.
The Classic Dark Ride built up under heavy playing, but stays under control. Its moderately heavy weight made stick response fast and bright. It also produces an enormous wash of sound when you laid the shaft of the stick along the middle. In addition, the large bell rings through clearly, allowing for piercing accents. Clear cup agression.
Classic Dark cymbals have traditional lathing and regular hammering on the top and bottom. Their sound is full-bodied, yet, reserved. The "reserved" parts refers to the dark qualities of their voices, which gives them the character of Vintage Jazz cymbals.
