Diril Cymbals 22" Aslan Ride 2010s - Natural - 2732g

Diril cymbals are highly respected by drum geeks for their incredible Turkish hand-hammering (Ibrahim Diril actually helped develop the signature sounds for Meinl's Byzance series before launching his own brand).

The Aslan series is famous for its raw, powerful, yet incredibly musical look and sound. Here is a description tailored to capture that boutique, hand-hammered vibe.

Diril Cymbals 22" Aslan Ride (2010s) - Natural

Condition: Very Good

Weight: 2732 grams

Finish: Natural

Up for grabs is a stunning, boutique piece of Turkish craftsmanship: a 22" Diril Aslan Ride from the 2010s. Weighing in at a highly versatile 2732 grams, this medium-weight ride hits the absolute sweet spot for drummers who want distinctive hand-hammered character, reliable stick projection, and a lush, complex wash.

Sound Profile & Character

The Stick: Woody, earthy, and highly defined. The stick click sits beautifully on top of the mix, never getting lost even when you lean into it.

The Wash: Dark, smoky, and complex. At 2732g, it has enough muscle to control the wash, preventing it from roaring into an unruly undertone. It provides a warm, dark cushion beneath your playing.

The Bell: Integrated but clear character that sounds incredibly organic and cuts right through a mix without sounding harsh or clinical.

The Crash: Big, dark, and trashy with a warm roar.

Condition Notes

This cymbal is in Very Good condition. It has been treated with care, showing normal signs of light use like minor stick marks, fingerprints, and natural patina common for a raw/natural finish instrument from the 2010s. There are absolutely no cracks, keyholing, flea bites, or warp issues. The center hole is perfectly round and the edges are nice and smooth. The original ink logos are clean and intact.

If you are looking to get away from generic assembly-line sounds and want a main ride with true boutique personality, this Diril Aslan is an exceptional choice.
