    Thin, dark hand-hammered B20 bronze cymbals

    Cymbal · Canada

    The Bliss series is Dream's thin, dark cymbal line, painstakingly hand-hammered and micro-lathed from B20 bronze.

  • Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary

    Cast B20 bronze cymbal series

    Cymbal · Turkey

    The 30th Anniversary series is hand-crafted in Turkey from B20 bronze to commemorate Istanbul Agop's history. Each cymbal begins with a hand-shaped bell, receives deep, comprehensive hammering, and is finished with a proprietary pre-aging process, yielding a warm, rich, complex sound reminiscent of vintage K Zildjians across hi-hats, crashes and rides.

  • UFIP Class Series

    The Italian rotocast flagship

    Cymbal · Italy

    Class is UFIP's main professional line and the clearest demonstration of rotocasting: bronze spun in the mould so the alloy densifies toward the rim. The cymbals are bright, clear, and unusually consistent between examples.

  • Amedia Old School

    Built to an older alloy and hammering recipe

    Cymbal · Turkey

    Old School cymbals are made to a pre-war specification: thin, low, and washy, with irregular hand hammering and a finish left deliberately uneven.

  • Istanbul Mehmet Sultan

    The workshop's traditional jazz line

    Cymbal · Turkey

    Sultan is Istanbul Mehmet's classic thin, dark, hand-hammered line, made the way the Istanbul workshop made cymbals before the company divided.

  • Crescent Stanton Moore Series

    The signature line that built the brand

    Cymbal

    Developed with the New Orleans drummer, the Stanton Moore series is dark, dry, and fast, with a wide flat ride and hats that close hard. Sabian continued the line after acquiring Crescent.

  • TRX DRK Series

    The dark end of the catalogue

    Cymbal

    DRK is TRX's dark line — thin, unlathed in places, and pitched low — and the series that made the brand's blunt naming scheme comprehensible at a glance.

  • Anatolian Ultimate Series

  • Wuhan China Cymbal

    The trashy china that became a studio standard

    Cymbal · China

    Wuhan's china cymbals are cheap, loud, and unmistakable, and they appear on so many records that the sound is effectively generic. The 14" and 18" are the ones most drummers own.

  • Bosphorus Master Series

    The workshop's traditional-weight flagship

    Cymbal · Turkey

    Master Series is Bosphorus at its most classical: cast B20, fully lathed, hand-hammered individually, and weighted toward the thin end. The rides wash rather than ping, which is the point.

  • Turkish Classic Series

    The house traditional line

    Cymbal · Turkey

    Classic is Turkish Cymbals' general-purpose hand-hammered B20 line, lathed top and bottom, and covers the widest set of diameters and weights in the catalogue.

  • Matt Nolan Custom Cymbal

    One-off cymbals made to a brief

    Cymbal · United Kingdom

    Nolan builds cymbals to order rather than to a catalogue — specified by diameter, weight, profile, and intended sound — which makes them common in film scoring and experimental work.

  • Diril Raw Series

    Cast in-house, left unlathed

    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.

  • Agean Natural Series

    Hand-hammered B20, made to order if needed

    Cymbal · Turkey

    Natural is Agean's standard hand-hammered line, and like most of the catalogue it can be ordered to a specific weight rather than taken from stock.

  • Masterwork Custom Series

  • Dream Dark Matter Series

    Re-fired, darkened hand-hammered B20 bronze cymbals

    Cymbal · Canada

    Dark Matter is Dream's darkened cymbal line, made by taking existing Dream models through a proprietary process of repeated firing and hammering that reworks the bronze for a darker, drier, and more complex voice.

All Dark Matter cymbals are hand-hammered and lathed from B20 bronze.

    Bright, articulate hand-hammered B20 bronze cymbals

  • Dream Vintage Bliss Series

    Aged-voice, dark and washy hand-hammered B20 bronze cymbals

    Cymbal · Canada

    Vintage Bliss is Dream's vintage-voiced cymbal line, hand-hammered and micro-lathed from B20 bronze for a dark, washy character with a softer attack and longer decay. The cymbals use a medium-thin weight with a pronounced edge taper, a wider, flatter bell, and a low bridge, which keeps them expressive and responsive to touch. The line is offered mainly as crashes and crash/rides in roughly 17 to 22 inch sizes that suit both modern and vintage settings.

  • Zildjian K Zildjian

    Cast B20 bronze cymbal series

    Cymbal · United States

    The K Zildjian series carries forward the dark, warm, complex sound of the original K cymbals developed in 19th-century Turkey. Cast from Zildjian's B20 bronze and traditionally finished, K cymbals are a jazz mainstay and are recognizable by their vented 'K' stamp, spanning rides, crashes, hi-hats and effects.

    A recreation of a 1950s K
