Istanbul Agop offers a range of Traditional cymbals, available in a variety of styles and sizes so that you can select the perfect cymbals for your setup. All Traditional cymbals are completely lathed on both the top and the bottom which contributes towards the rich tone which the cymbals produce. The lathe marks also add to the stunning design and finish which each Traditional cymbal presents. Due to their sonic versatility, Istanbul's Traditional cymbals are suitable for any drumming styles and genres.
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 2280, 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.
