Used Istanbul Traditional 21" Dark Ride

Used Istanbul Agop Traditional 21" Dark Ride Cymbal

The Used Istanbul Agop Traditional 21" Dark Ride delivers a warm, dark voice with woody stick definition, complex overtones, and a broad musical wash. Its 21" size provides a comfortable balance of articulation, depth, and crashability for players who want an expressive ride with traditional Turkish cymbal character.

Dark, Warm, and Complex

This Dark Ride responds with a rich fundamental tone and a controlled spread that opens naturally as it is played. The stick sound remains clear without becoming overly bright, while the hand-hammered surface produces subtle variations and earthy complexity throughout the cymbal.

Expressive Ride and Crash Performance

The cymbal offers enough definition for traditional ride patterns while remaining responsive enough to use as a large crash. It is well suited for jazz, blues, acoustic music, singer-songwriter performances, studio work, and other settings where a warm and organic cymbal voice is preferred.

Condition

This cymbal is pre-owned and may show normal cosmetic wear from previous use, including fingerprints, stick marks, patina, or light surface discoloration. Please review all available photos for complete condition details.
