Maker
Diril Cymbals
Murat Diril's foundry in Samsun
The Diril family casts its own bronze rather than buying blanks, and the cymbals are hammered and lathed by hand in Samsun. Raw and dark models dominate the catalogue, and the company also supplies blanks to other names.
Models
-
Diril Raw Series
Cymbal · Turkey
Diril casts its own bronze rather than buying blanks, and the Raw series shows it: unlathed, heavily hammered cymbals with a dark, complex, short response.
-
Diril Dark Series
Cymbal · Turkey
The Dark series is lathed but weighted low and hammered heavily, producing a warm ride wash with enough stick definition to survive a band.
-
Diril Jazz Series
Cymbal · Turkey
Diril's Jazz cymbals are thin enough to open under a brush and are pitched low for their diameter, aimed squarely at acoustic small-group work.
