The Istanbul Agop Traditional Dark Ride Cymbal 22″ is designed for drummers who want a ride cymbal with warmth, depth and a darker tonal character. Its 22″ size provides a full-bodied voice with a broad wash, while the stick response remains warm, musical and expressive.
Part of the Istanbul Agop Traditional Series, this cymbal is completely lathed on both the top and bottom to produce rich, warm overtones and a highly musical presence. The darker wash gives the cymbal extra character, making it ideal for players who want a ride that feels classic, organic and responsive under the stick.
Perfect for jazz, blues, rock, fusion, studio sessions and live performance, the 22″ Traditional Dark Ride offers a versatile balance of definition and wash. Whether used for smooth ride patterns, dynamic builds or expressive cymbal textures, it brings authentic Istanbul Agop craftsmanship and rich Turkish tone to any drum setup.
