The Istanbul Agop 20" Signature Series China Cymbal (AGCH20) delivers an exotic, dark, and full-sounding China voice. Crafted for drummers seeking a unique blend of power and musicality, this cymbal is handmade in Turkey using traditional lathing and hammering techniques. Its medium-heavy weight produces a bold, cutting attack while maintaining rich harmonic complexity, making it ideal for expressive accents in rock, jazz, fusion, and other genres. Sky Music Australia presents this cymbal as a premium, hand-crafted option for discerning percussionists.

Part of the Agop Signature Series—the final creation of founder Agop Tomurcuk—this cymbal was posthumously completed from his personal notebook, reflecting decades of cymbal-making expertise for some of the world’s most acclaimed jazz drummers. Each cymbal is a true work of art, with individual variations in color, hammer marks, lathing, and labels that enhance its natural beauty and ensure every piece is one-of-a-kind. The result is a cymbal that combines exotic aesthetics with a full, dark China sound and exceptional playability.
