The Bosphorus Traditional boasts an intricate style of over hammering that creates a one-of-a-kind tone with a warm, vowel-like attack. Its relatively deep pitch and rich, complex wash of controlled overtones make it versatile enough for delicate acoustic settings and powerful enough for arena rock performances.

Reviews
"You can use this 18" as a crash cymbal as well as a ride cymbal. When crashed, it produces a spectrum out to 10 kHz, peaking at 4 kHz, and then slowly declines to about 45 kHz. The crash peaks at 0.23 seconds. When used as a ride, the ping has a slightly flatter response, and all the way out to 15 kHz before it declines sharply. So, the ping of the ride has higher frequencies initially than the crash. I suspect this is because I used the wooden side of the stick to crash it, but the nylon tip to ride it. The ride has a shimmering wash that is quite musical and nearly as loud as the ping. This is one of the most beautiful sounding cymbals I have yet heard." - Team
"The Traditional Series is the most universally applicable line of cymbals from Bosphorus. You’ll find cymbals of all types here, and I’d say it’s the best option for drummers who play a bit of everything. If you play jazz, you could get a set of lightweight Traditional cymbals with darker tones. If you play rock, you could get a heavier set with brighter tones. The cool thing is that you can use the cymbals to play both styles as well. They’ve highly versatile, covering most bases quite well." - Brett Clur
