Bosphorus Traditional Series 18" China Cymbal

Fully lathed top and bottom, Bosphorus Traditional Series Chinas offer a piercing attack with a fast decay. Clean articulation when used as a ride balances with an exotic dark wash when crashed.

Classic Turkish cymbal making at its finest. Our most diverse family of cymbals, Traditional Series offers classic Turkish cymbals in a vast array of sizes to match any musical situation. Their sounds range from dark and delicate to bright and penetrating.

Each ride and crash is available in different weight variants. A heavier ride cymbal yields a higher pitch and increased stick articulation, while the lighter weights offer a softer more ‘vowel' type stick sound. Heavier crashes provide more volume with a higher pitch, but take longer for the sound to open up. Chinas, splashes and flats are not offered in multiple weights.

Traditional, yet far from ordinary.
