From a 9–year–old apprentice in Istanbul's only cymbal factory to a globally recognised craftsman, Agop Tomurcuk's remarkable journey spans over eight decades of cymbal–making mastery. Born in Istanbul–Turkey in 1941 and raised in the Samatya neighbourhood, Agop followed his older brothers Oksant and Garbis into the ancient art of cymbal–smithing. Today, more than 80 years later, the distinctive sound of Agop's cymbals resonates across stages and practice rooms throughout the world.
The 20" Istanbul Agop Agop Signature Ride Cymbal showcases the pinnacle of this traditional craftsmanship with its dry stick definition and warm, complex overtones. This exceptional instrument offers mellow crash–ride capabilities, making it a versatile addition to any drummer's setup seeking that authentic Turkish cymbal character.
