You could play cymbals from the big dogs, like Zildjian, Sabian, Meinl, or Paiste. But there's something special about working with a family-owned company that keeps things small. And when it's a company that's run in the area of the world that's known for 400+ years of cymbal-making, then you know this has got to be a good thing!
Turkish Cymbals is a brand that's got more than two decades of life under its belt. They've been popular in Europe for many years, but we don't see them that often in the United States. But that's going to change. It's worth trying these cymbals out because they offer something different than other brands. Listen to the examples in this video. I think you'll dig it!

always sworn by non name brand hand made turkish cymbals, never leads me wrong, especially loving my pergamon cymbals right now
It’s pretty wild how many factories exist over there!
So I’m not sure how I forgot to comment on the very episode I’d been asking for. I love Turkish, I picked up a Cap ride I love but still love your prototype the best. Keep the faith homie, hope all is well with you and yours. Can’t wait to see what you have next but take care of yourself first. We’ll be here when you’re ready.
Thanks for all the kind words, man. Truly. Been real quiet here, but I've got some good stuff in store for the new year. Hoping to get a few new videos out before that time too. Sending my best for your holiday season!!
Love this Tim. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Brandon. Glad you got a kick out of it, ya early bird!! hahaha
You know it man. I’ve got kids, morning is my only time to watch stuff! Ha
I dig this. But my wallet doesn’t.
Cymbals are like Pringles - once you pop, the fun don't stop. hahaha
17 hi-hats.
I think I'm in love.
They are BEYOND. So so fun to play, dude.
Siick, lucky to own 16” Trad crash, 19” Xanthos and 13”Jazz hats. Gotta snag a ride sometime
All good stuff. If you’re looking for a ride, I can’t recommend the 22” Millennium Ride enough. It’s excellent!
This video was very informative, and I am checking these cymbals out as soon as I hit my send button. Thanks so very much, Timbo, and you, my friend, have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks Greg. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out via comment, DM on IG, or email!
@@timbofromkeno Will do, Timbo. I checked the cymbal sets on Sweetwater. I just can’t justify spending that kind of money on cymbals that are only played in my basement by me playing to a cd or iPad. I wish I had a set of them, but my Sabian B8s are going to have to do. Thanks so much.
@@gregwonhoff7161 lol Totally fair. I get it!!
@@timbofromkeno I might take you up on that one of these days. Thank you for the offering.
Not 100% sure but always suspected the cymbals I play (the Zultan Caz series from Thomanns in house cymbal brand) are actually rebranded Turkish Millenniums. Very similar for sure. I freaking LOVE them.
I believe they come out of the same factory, but they’re a different crew making them!
I own 3 different rides that are 21", and one 22". There's something with a 21" that makes it balanced between a 22" and 20", I personally dig them
Odd-sized cymbals can be really cool. If you haven’t tried a 23, that might be worth a go too. I’ve owned and loved a few of them!
@@timbofromkeno That would be pretty cool, don't think I have played one, speaking of odd sizes I have some 13" sabian aax hihats that sound really nice
Watched it again and still dig it.
Ah man. Thank you! New stuff coming in the new year. And I hope you’ll dig that stuff too!!
Thanks for another awesome video Tim! Gonna have to keep an eye out for these cymbals at Music go Round! 🥁❤
They’ve got quite a few at the Greenfield store right now. You’ll have to go give them a smack! And thanks!!
those sound great Tim! and Zephyr lugs! i have a set of WFL's with them, 13,16,26
Thanks Shawn! Man, I love those Zephyr lugs. They’re too cool. And what finish is your kit??
@@timbofromkeno me too! Super light weight drums. I swear the 26" is the lightest drum I own haha the bass drum is original gold and black duco, I found good candidates for a refinish and painted them to match. They came out ok, I couldn't find a perfect match to the gold but they're kinda close lol I may redo them some day.

@@shawnsdrumcave I gotta peep that video. I’m jealous, man!
You got a lot of companies in Turkey making very similar model cymbals. Like Turkish, Masterwork, Amedia, Zultan, Murat Diril. The real stand-out from Turkey is Istanbul Agop in my opinion. They have their own novel cymbal designs and the craftsmanship/sound/consistency is definitely a cut above the rest I’ve tried.
Agop makes some really cool cymbals, and a lot of drummers are hip to them right now. I would argue that their consistency is about the same as other brands, including Turkish, though. There are only some smaller factories in Turkey (plus many factories in China) that really give these non-North American manufacturers a bad name because of poor quality control.
@@timbofromkenoapparently Turkish cymbals come from Istanbul Mehmet factories. I bet several of those other generic brands are also related to them. Many of their lines are curiously similar. Istanbul Agop was obviously also related to them in the past, but what they focus on in the present is much more sophisticated in design and production quality imho.
For me it goes without saying that most of those Turkish brands are much better value than what they produce in the USA. Especially with the prices of American cymbals here in Europe.
@@llRoBoBinHoll A lot of the Turkish brands are definitely a better value in Europe. That we can 100% agree on.
And you are correct, the Turkish Cymbals factory is the same as the Istanbul Mehmet one. It runs in three shifts. One shift is a dedicated team to Turkish. One shift is a dedicated team for Mehmet. And a third team is dedicated to white label stuff (those smaller brands that you alluded to). It's pretty interested. But I love that each of the two main brands have a dedicated group of folks making the cymbals.
Now I need 17" hats 😂 .. I thought 16" was somewhat ridiculous, but hey, why not.. 🔥
They’re ridiculous, but when you hear them, you’ll get it! 😂👊
I am a cymbal addict. Love!!!! ❤❤
Thanks Brent!!
Wow! Great sounding!
Right?! So glad I stumbled across these folks. They make some really neat stuff!
That Rack-tom 😍😍😍
Some of these sound like Zildjian and Paiste had a baby. And I LOVE that about them.
Right?! I love that tom. I’ll have a video about this whole kit soon.
And I like the way you think about this cymbal sound. I think you’re on to something!!
@@timbofromkeno "dream of cymbal-fornicatiioooonn"
@@davewills94 😂😂😂😂
all of those sound beautiful! the 22 ride is pure fire. It really shocks me how few subs you have, when releasing such high end content! love your vids
Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate that!
And man, that 22 Millennium Ride is amazing. It’s a desert island cymbal for sure!!
"Man fuck this guy"
- me while laughing at the perfection of the second set.
😂👊
Timbo, close personal friend, I love you, I hope you're doing well. I really appreciate those jam tracks, been getting a ton of mileage out of them!
Man, thank you! So glad you’re digging the tracks. I use them all the time too-that’s why I first started making them! And I’m so glad other folks like you get a kick out of them too!!
cool content, just got a new subv man! keep it up!
Thanks dude. I truly appreciate it!!
But I’m afraid of change. I will never stray from my beloved Zildjian A’s. NEVER!!!! You can’t make me 😂
lol I’m all about choices. I love Zildjian stuff too, and sometimes having alternatives to mix in with your most beloved cymbals can make drumming fun again as well!!
Nice timbooooooo🎉
Thanks dude. I hope you dug what you saw!!
@@timbofromkeno I did I did I did
Timbo where did you go go?
I’m alive. Hahaha Life and continued health issues have slowed things to a halt for now, but I’ve got some stuff in the works for January!
@@timbofromkenoGet well soon. Miss your great videos! Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas and 2024.
@@Garagedrummer I appreciate ya! ❤️👊
Timbo, we miss ya buddy! Hope all is well! Some dill havarti a day keeps the doc away!
Thanks for the comment, dude. I’ve had some tough family stuff come up, but I’m still working on A LOT of new content. Gimme a week or two, and we’ll be back! ❤️❤️❤️
@@timbofromkeno Family first, always. Take your time!
Each cymbals will sound different especially when they're hand hammerred different of the USA companies they're machine hammered I personally prefer hand hammerred love Turkish cymbals now the Master Murat Diríl it's using Bronze ( B) 27 his cymbals are high end with an unique sound.
Hey Uzziel! Yes, I like handmade cymbals too. I think there is something special about that. And Diril makes some incredible stuff. I know there are a few manufacturers who make high tin content cymbals in the B25 (25% tin) range, but I don't know if anyone is doing anything higher than what Diril does. So so interesting!
@@timbofromkenoMurat Diríl it's a cymbal god that person knows his stuff and has produce and created many cymbals models of the known companies. He's know it's building with Bronze 27 and the quality and sound it's impressive the beauty you can custom made them in term on weight finish , logo etc . I've been contacted and the prices he had provide was tremendously low , I used to be Diríl Cymbals distribuitor for years and I learned about cymbals along the way. Thank you for always make this amazing videos.
If you gonna learn drumming or a god home made Cymbals se : el estepario siberiano ;)
He's a cool dude for sure!
