The Traditional Paper Thin Crash 18" cymbal is one of the most expressive cymbals in the Istanbul Agop range. Hand-forged from a B20 alloy and artisanally hammered according to Turkish tradition, it features an ultra-thin thickness, allowing for immediate explosiveness even at low volume.
Its warm, richly textured sound unfolds with a soft and muffled attack, followed by a short to medium sustain, subtly smoky and silky. It offers a natural clarity that lets the mix breathe, while delivering that dark, soft, and velvety signature typical of the finest models in the Traditional series.
Ideal for jazz, acoustic, world music contexts, or expressive ambiance passages in the studio, this crash is a reactive, organic, and intimate cymbal. It elegantly fades away after delivering its voice, never overpowering the sound space.
Its natural finish, combined with irregular traditional hammering, gives it an artisanal and authentic aesthetic, while ensuring a cymbal with a unique personality that every drummer can tame in a nuanced playing style.
