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.
