About This Listing
30th Series are true works of art with different variations in massive hammer marks, lathing and color all enhance the sound, they also stand out with hand-shaped rugged-looking bells as their profiles curve gently down. Crashes are exceptionally versatile, produce dark, trashy eruption that subsides to washy undertow and moderate decays. Rides are astonishingly complex and involving, while also not being especially loud, are far from subdued - being suffused with spiky, almost seething tonality, feature woody, silvery stick response and wash that is hissing, churning, oceanic backdrop rolling along restlessly beneath the pulse. Hats are exquisite - physically slight but beautifully voiced and hugely playable, endowed with an intoxicating degree of warmth and responsiveness, produce crisp yet dark and deep, tangy note when closed and opened up, the note broadens then dissolves into a smooth, fuzzy wash. These cymbals are uncannily similar to the vintage Turkish Ks that inspired them. Like their aged counterparts, they are instruments full of character and subtlety.
Istanbul Agop cymbals have ONE year warranty against manufacturing flaws, starting from date of the purchase made from Cymbal House which is the authorized dealer of Istanbul Agop.

About the Seller
Product Overview
Operating in its current incarnation since 2004 after creating a headquarters in the United States, Istanbul Agop is one of the cymbal industry's leaders in crafting traditional Turksih cymbals. The company was founded by and named after Agop Tomurcuk, who spent decades in Turkey's sole cymbal foundry learning the craft before creating his own company.
Conceived to celebrate the anniversary of the original Istanbul company Zilclier (Turkish for "cymbal maker"), the 30th Anniversary series was introduced in 2010. These cymbals are produced in accordance with traditional Turkish cymbal smithing and feature a completely handmade bell, each hammered by one cymbal smith.
Designed to respond with tight sticking complemented by a low frequency "roar" of a wash, the 30th Anniversary Ride is the heaviest cymbal in the series.
Years of production: 2010-present
Tonal profile: dark, dry, articulate, quiet
Notable features: no inked logo, three vertical stamps in accordance with antiquated aesthetic
Associated artists: Jim White (Dirty Three), Josh Block (White Denim), Christopher Bear (Grizzly Bear)
