Turkish Cymbals is an Istanbul-based company that blends centuries-old manufacturing methods with contemporary techniques to provide modern drummers with rich, nuanced instruments for any genre. When designing a signature series with endorsing artist Lale Kardeş of the bluesy garage-rock trio Ringo Jets, the goal was to create large, light cymbals with dark, washy tones. The series comprises 15" hi-hats ($402.50), 18" and 20" crashes ($273.90 and $354.20), and 22" and 24" rides ($418.60 and $460.90). Each cymbal features a dagger/hand logo that was illustrated by Kardeş.
