The Istanbul Agop Traditional Dark Ride 24" is a deeply musical, hand-hammered instrument crafted for drummers seeking richness, complexity, and a wide dynamic range. Its large diameter and traditional Turkish cymbal-making heritage deliver a dark, smoky character with a spacious, atmospheric wash that fills the room without ever becoming harsh.
This 24" ride speaks with a warm, earthy stick response and a balanced blend of definition and spread. Its lower fundamental pitch and darker tonality make it a perfect choice for jazz, ambient, roots, and cinematic playing styles. Whether played softly with subtle articulation or driven harder for immersive waves of sound, it maintains a controlled, organic voice that complements both acoustic and electric settings.
The bell offers a mellow yet present tone, integrating smoothly with the cymbal’s overall darkness without cutting too aggressively. Thanks to its hand-hammered construction, each cymbal carries unique musical nuances that inspire creativity and dynamic exploration. The Traditional Dark Ride excels in spacious soundscapes, expressive improvisation, and any performance where mood and texture matter.
If you’re looking for a large, responsive ride with lush musicality, vintage warmth, and unmistakable Turkish character, the Istanbul Agop Traditional Dark Ride 24" is a standout centerpiece for any serious drummer’s setup.
