Bosphorus ride cymbal with a distinct New Orleans character
If you are looking for a ride cymbal with strong definition and a raw voice, the Bosphorus 20" New Orleans Series Ride sits in a very specific corner. This series is built around the rough, authentic sound of New Orleans, which gives this Bosphorus ride cymbal a clearly different identity from more smoothly finished models.
The 20 inch size gives you a full ride format that suits drummers who want a pronounced stick response. It comes across especially well in settings where articulation matters.
Hand-hammered and partially lathed
This Bosphorus ride is hand-hammered and partially lathed on both the top and bottom, with a continuous spiral running from the center outward. That coarse lathing technique plays a major role in how the cymbal responds under the stick.
You hear that in the very focused stick attack. When you crash the cymbal, the decay stays dry and short, which gives you more control and keeps the sound clear.
Well suited to recording
Because of that dry, short response, this 20 inch ride cymbal is also very suitable for recording. You get a clear attack without a long, spreading wash, which often works well in the studio.
At Magna Music, you can also count on advice from players themselves, useful if you are looking for a Bosphorus cymbal with a very specific sound profile for your setup or recordings.
