Bosphorus Traditional Series 21 Medium/Thin Ride Cymbal

The Bosphorus Traditional Series Ride Cymbals embody the essence of classic Turkish cymbal craftsmanship, offering unmatched versatility and musicality for players of all styles. These cymbals are the ultimate multi-purpose ride—delivering crisp, articulate stick definition, a shimmering hammered bell tone, and rich, warm undertones that lend depth and character to every note. They’re not just rides either—these cymbals can double as lush, expressive crash cymbals when needed, making them a flexible addition to any kit. Available in Original (O), Medium (M), and Heavy (H) weights, each variant is tailored for different playing preferences. Heavier models offer a brighter sound and more pronounced stick articulation with a tighter, higher-pitched response—ideal for louder settings or precision playing. Lighter Original weights provide a deeper, more complex tone with greater crashability and a smoother, more vocal stick feel. Great for both ride and crash sounds. Available in Original, Medium, and Heavy for varied pitch and tone. Made using classic Turkish cymbal-making techniques. From dark and delicate to bright and penetrating tones.
