The Istanbul Agop Traditional Paper Thin Crash 17" cymbal embodies the perfect balance between airy subtlety and expressive depth. Hand-forged from a B20 alloy and crafted using traditional Turkish methods, this cymbal features an extremely thin profile, promoting an instant response and a quick sonic opening with the lightest touch.
It stands out with a warm, creamy, almost vocal timbre, with a soft attack followed by a short, silky decay. Its moderate volume allows for natural integration in jazz, ambient, world music, or acoustic settings, where low dynamics and tonal coloration are essential.
It offers a very musical character, with a slightly trashy texture at the end of its projection, appealing to drummers seeking expressive and tactile nuances. Its traditional hammering and natural finish enhance the organic, almost alive quality of its behavior.
