The \u003cstrong\u003eSamet series\u003c\/strong\u003e is marketed as a \u003cstrong\u003eprofessional series\u003c\/strong\u003e and follows the \u003cstrong\u003esame manufacturing process as other Agean series\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring consistency in the brand's production standards while preserving the subtle variations inherent to hand hammering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in Turkey, in \u003cstrong\u003eUzunkopru\u003c\/strong\u003e, this ride targets a \"musician high-end\" positioning: a cymbal capable of covering a wide range of uses, with a sound signature rich enough to inspire and balanced enough to integrate easily into a kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e20-inch ride cymbal\u003c\/strong\u003e is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to professional drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking an expressive ride sensitive to dynamic nuances and capable of serving as a rhythmic pillar in a band. Its \u003cstrong\u003eversatile character\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it suitable both for a \"time\" approach (steady patterns, groove) and for a more orchestral playing style (accents, textures, stroke variations).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its \u003cstrong\u003efine and rich sound\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is particularly well suited to contexts where a musically complex cymbal is expected: \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efusion\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ejazz\u003c\/strong\u003e, and contemporary music. In the studio, its definition maintains clarity in the mix, while on stage its natural projection helps structure the high-frequency spectrum without excessive harshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Agean Samet stands out through a manufacturing approach focused on essentials: \u003cstrong\u003ecraftsmanship, manual hammering\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a \u003cstrong\u003eB20 alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e known for its musical qualities. The \u003cstrong\u003esame manufacturing process as other Agean series\u003c\/strong\u003e emphasizes design consistency (overall balance, musicality, control) while allowing the hammering to create micro-variations in response, texture, and openness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractically, this results in a ride that responds well to the drummer's dynamics: light strokes produce a fine, nuanced ping; stronger hits yield increased presence and wider openness. This adaptability makes the 20-inch Samet a logical choice for those wanting a \u003cstrong\u003emain ride cymbal\u003c\/strong\u003e without limiting themselves to a single sonic register.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eB20 Bronze Alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e (80 percent copper, 20 percent tin, traces of silver) is a professional cymbal standard, prized for its \u003cstrong\u003eharmonic richness\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ecomplexity\u003c\/strong\u003e. On a ride cymbal, it promotes a balance between \u003cstrong\u003edefinition\u003c\/strong\u003e (clear attack), \u003cstrong\u003ewarmth\u003c\/strong\u003e (musical body), and \u003cstrong\u003enatural sustain\u003c\/strong\u003e (organic sound tail) without falling into sterile brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual hammering\u003c\/strong\u003e directly contributes to the \"lively\" character: the cymbal gains in \u003cstrong\u003edepth\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003etexture\u003c\/strong\u003e, with denser harmonics and a more flexible response under the stick. The result is a \u003cstrong\u003efine and rich sound\u003c\/strong\u003e that remains musical at low volumes while retaining the necessary projection when playing becomes more energetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eAgean\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eSamet\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eRide\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e20 inches (20\u0026quot;)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePositioning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eProfessional series\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eHighly versatile series\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eB20 Bronze\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e80 percent copper, 20 percent tin, traces of silver\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType of manufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003etraditional handcrafted manufacturing\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHammering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003emanual hammering\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esame manufacturing process as other Agean series\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of manufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eTurkey, Uzunkopru\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e2 years\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExceptions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esplashes and cymbals from the R Series\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eany defect and crack appearing in the groove of the lathing (in the same direction as the lathing lines)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecymbals from the R Series particularly require adapted playing\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Agean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360753144083,"sku":"302635","price":219.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/f79321c9414b913cdf4641ce61b8249e8e5d1e6e_AGE_SE20RI.jpg?v=1787395023","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/agean-20-ride-samet-302635","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
