Bosphorus 18" Avanos Crash

Bosphorus 18" Avanos Crash Cymbal

The Bosphorus 18" Avanos Crash delivers an expressive blend of warmth, clarity, and projection. Its full 18" size provides a broad crash voice with enough body to fill out a groove, while the responsive construction allows the cymbal to open quickly under both light and heavy playing.

The Avanos Series combines traditional Turkish cymbal character with a more direct, versatile response. This crash offers a balanced tonal profile with warm low frequencies, clear attack, and a smooth sustain that remains musical without becoming overly harsh or brittle.

Hand-hammered and traditionally crafted in Istanbul, Turkey, each Bosphorus cymbal has its own subtle tonal personality. The 18" Avanos Crash works well as a primary crash for rock, funk, blues, pop, fusion, and other contemporary styles where a full, responsive crash sound is needed.
