Bosphorus Turk 22 Inch Ride Cymbal

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.
