The Bosphorus Traditional Ride Cymbals reflect the famous history of Turkish cymbal making at its finest.

Ride Cymbals from this series are diverse enough to be used in delicate symphonic situations and aggressive enough to be played in arena rock concerts.  Their sounds can range from dark, delicate, and complex to bright, sharp, and penetrating.

Regardless of the setting, these cymbals will inspire players to maximize their creative output.

Traditional, yet far from ordinary. 

Ride Cymbals from Bosphorus.  Handmade in Turkey.

Bosphorus Turk Ride cymbals are characterized by their dark, dry, and earthy sound, with minimal overtones and a strong stick definition. They are visually striking due to their unlathed, hand-hammered construction, which gives them a unique, "straight from the oven" appearance. These cymbals are often used as a primary voice or as a distinct addition to a more traditional cymbal setup, offering a sophisticated sound with heightened response and nuance.
