Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
The Agean Natural Ride Jazz 20-inch is part of the great tradition of Turkish artisanal cymbals, where hammering and material work shape both the feel and the timbre. Within the Agean range, the Natural series stands out with a rawer aesthetic and a sound approach focused on control: less brightness, more texture, and a more "natural" feel on contact. This ride is designed for those seeking a cymbal with character and a marked personality rather than a highly polished sound.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This jazz ride cymbal is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced drummers who know how to exploit playing dynamics and nuance their attack. Its drier profile and short sustain are particularly suited to jazz (traditional, hard bop, modern), blues, acoustic ensembles, and studio settings where trailing is limited and space is preserved for other instruments. It can also be an excellent choice for funk or indie when prioritizing a defined "ping" and controlled wash.

Questions frequently asked
What sound does the Agean Ride Jazz 20" Natural offer?
The unlathed matte finish produces a defined ping, low in brightness, with a rustic character. The low sustain limits wash and preserves clear pattern articulation.
Is this 20-inch ride suitable for acoustic jazz?
Its 20-inch diameter and light medium weight provide a foundation suited for trios and quartets. The controlled wash supports nuanced phrasing at moderate volume.
What alloy is this Agean cymbal made of?
The cymbal is made from B20 bronze, composed of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver.
Can it be used as a crash ride?
As a crash ride, the cymbal maintains controlled openness with a gradual build-up. The hand hammering adds texture without producing a very bright shimmer.
What warranty covers this Natural ride?
The warranty is 2 years. It covers defects and cracks appearing in the lathing grooves, along the direction of the lathe lines. Splash cymbals and R Series cymbals are exceptions requiring a specially adapted set.
