Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary 24" Ride 3225 g

The Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary is a true work of art, featuring a variety of hammer marks, lathing, and colors that all contribute to its unique sound. It stands out with its hand-shaped, rugged-looking bell, whose profiles gently curve downward. These cymbals bear a striking resemblance to vintage Turkish Ks, which served as their inspiration. As with their aged counterparts, these instruments possess character and nuance.

30th Anniversary Ride

• Has a remarkably intricate and engaging design that maintains a moderate volume level.
• Is far from subdued - it is filled with spiky, almost boiling tonality.
• Offers a unique blend of woody and silvery stick response, along with a hissing, churning, oceanic backdrop rolling along restlessly beneath the pulse.

30th Anniversary Cymbal Bag

• All leather, debossed with the 30th Anniversary logo.
• Light weight, perfect for a small setup.

• Reviews

  "The mighty 24-inch Ride presents itself with a well-balanced, full sound spectrum. A woody stick sound meets brilliant overtones and tonal diversity. Despite its size, the ride is easy to crash, always remains controlled with its pleasant playing feel. The complex sound of the bell does not stand out in an unpleasant way and allows fine accents in the otherwise homogeneous background noise of the cymbal. With harder hits and playing, the cymbal can become brutally loud and reveals the entire power of 24 inches." - Alex Hoffken
  
  "This thing is the best ride I ever played on. The cymbal is extremely well balanced. This allows the cymbal to project as much as possible at the same time there is a bounce on the cymbal that does not induce fatigue that other cymbals do. I can play the cymbal for hours using the minimum force and it sounds just great. When you crash the cymbal it does not wobble and use up energy trying to stabilize while decaying its sound trying to project." - Evolving Machine
  
  "Nice musical ride and very expressive. It is not a bright pingy ride, has far more darker tones. Surprisingly good for indie rock tones and articulates all sorts of sticks (tried nylon tipped, wood tips, as well as everything from 2A to 7B) and sticking really well. Obviously, an excellent cymbal for jazz to fusion situations." - Apurv P.
