Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Agean Custom is part of the great tradition of Turkish cymbals: artisanal expertise where manual hammering and traditional manufacturing methods shape the personality of each piece. Made in Turkey at Uzunkopru, this 19" Crash positions itself as an "all-terrain" cymbal within the range, designed to offer a balance between expressiveness, musicality, and adaptability, with the aesthetics and DNA of the "quintessential Turkish cymbal."
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
The Crash Paper Thin 19 is aimed at drummers and percussionists seeking a highly responsive cymbal, capable of opening easily at low dynamics while remaining clear in a mix. It suits both intermediate players wanting an expressive crash to work on nuances, and advanced drummers looking for a thin crash to enrich a studio or stage setup. Its versatility makes it relevant in pop, modern rock, jazz, fusion, funk, acoustic music, and contexts where attack finesse and color matter as much as volume.
Features and Innovations
The 19" format provides a comfortable striking area and wide openness, while the Paper Thin thickness promotes immediate vibration. The traditional manufacturing combined with manual hammering enhances harmonic complexity and delivers a more "organic" feel under the stick, with a response that subtly varies depending on intensity and striking location. The result: a cymbal that speaks quickly, modulates easily, and allows smooth transitions from soft accents to broader crashes without effort.
Sound Characteristics
The B20 Bronze is renowned for its balance between projection and richness: it produces a dense harmonic spectrum, with present but musical highs and a solid midrange body. On a Paper Thin crash, this alloy particularly emphasizes a fast attack and an instant sense of openness, ideal for precise accents and fluid transitions.
Thanks to its thinness, the cymbal offers a very sensitive dynamic response: at low intensity, it delivers an airy and light crash; as the playing increases, it gains in fullness while maintaining a lively grain linked to manual hammering. This combination helps achieve an expressive crash, suitable for subtle placements as well as more pronounced hits, without losing the musicality that characterizes artisanal Turkish cymbals.
