Traditional Jazz Lineup

Istanbul Agop Traditional Jazz Series Cymbals are designed as an homage to our history yet are very much in the present. Made to express a wide dynamic range, they’re equally at home with an acoustic trio or among electric and electronic instrumentation. The 22” and 20” rides yield and clear and ever-present stick sound while maintaining a musical, dark wash that can range from the subtle to the explosive. The 14” Hi-Hats have a crisp and pronounced chick sound, yet remain balanced and musical when played with sticks. These cymbals are designed to be musically dynamic and responsive – furthering connection and expression between the player and the instrument. Initially conceived as Jazz cymbals, they are equally at live or in the studio for nearly any style.
