Steeped in history. Agop Tomurcuk was born to make cymbals. Starting as an apprentice at the tender age of nine, Agop went on to found his own, family-run cymbal company in 1980, training his sons in traditional construction methods, and beginning an obsession with high-quality percussion that has lasted through the generations.
His sons now run the Istanbul Agop company, which has cemented its place as a favourite among discerning drummers, with fans and endorsees all over the world, and in every genre from jazz, to drum 'n' bass, to metal.
The Istanbul Agop Special Edition Jazz Cymbals are a line of high-quality cymbals from Istanbul, specially designed for jazz styles. The range includes hi-hats, crashes, and rides, all offering similar dark sounds with a woody stick definition, with dry overtones and wash. The cymbals all feature light hammering and fine lathing, contributing towards the stunning design and sound that the Special Edition Jazz Cymbals offer. Ideal for expanding any jazz drumming setup, the Istanbul Agop Special Edition Jazz Cymbals deliver superb quality at reasonable price points.
