ISTANBUL AGOP 18" Traditional Trash Hit

The Istanbul Agop Traditional series is handcrafted in Turkey using time-honoured techniques passed down through generations, creating the warm, musical tones that define the brand’s world-renowned sound. Fully lathed top and bottom, each cymbal delivers rich overtones, expressive dynamics, and an unmistakably organic character. The Istanbul Agop 18″ Traditional Trash Hit features a unique and creative lathing process that gives the outer edge its warped, malleable quality. This design produces a fast, trashy attack with a quick decay and a blend of china-like bite and crash-like warmth. Smaller sizes in the series sit tonally between a splash and a china, while larger sizes like this 18″ combine the explosive energy of a crash with the dark, complex edge of a china or swish. The result is an incredibly responsive cymbal that adds sharp, musical texture to any setup. OXYGEN MUSIC stocks a great range of Istanbul Agop cymbals, including the 18″ Traditional Trash Hit ready for you to experience their authentic craftsmanship, unique design, and unmistakable sound.
