Bosphorus Latin Series 8 Splash Cymbal

Crafted for ultimate versatility, the Bosphorus Latin Series cymbals are built to thrive in any musical setting — from the raw passion of Latin grooves to the intensity of rock and everything in between. Designed with the spirit of South American folk rhythms fused with contemporary soundscapes, these cymbals offer a dynamic response with exceptional musicality.

A unique combination of lathed and natural finishes gives each cymbal a striking visual aesthetic and a diverse sonic range. Expect crisp, articulate stick definition, glassy bell tones, and explosive crash responses — all on a single cymbal. The sound profile is dry, warm, and earthy, accented by a tasteful shimmer and a controlled spectrum of overtones that effortlessly blend with funk, jazz, Latin, and even hard rock styles.

Bosphorus Cymbals was founded in 1996 by three master cymbalsmiths — Hasan Seker, Ibrahim Yakici, and Hasan Ozdemir — some of Turkey’s most revered artisans in the centuries-old tradition of hand-hammered cymbal making. Their passion, heritage, and craftsmanship live on through every cymbal in the Latin Series.
