Evoking the spirit of the crescent city, this series feels as good behind a jazz kit as it does on a contemporary setup. These cymbals are 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 more spread than the Turks but less wash than the Traditional Series. See www.BosphorusCymbals.com for more information.
