Resembles the sound of an aged vintage Turkish cymbal.

The Bosphorus ride cymbal from the New Orleans Series feels as good behind a jazz kit as it does on a contemporary setup. It is completely hand-hammered in the traditional manner, then wide-lathed in a continuous spiral from bell to outer edge. The distinctive lathing produces a clear and woody stick sound with increased stick definition and trashy undertones. It resembles an aged vintage Turkish cymbal.

Regardless of the setting, the New Orleans Ride maximizes the creative spark.
