Bosphorus cymbals are forged and hand hammered in Istanbul Turkey. They are made the way cymbals used to be. Thousands of expertly achieved hammer blows shape each cymbal to produce an instrument of aural complexity that simply cannot be achieved by any short cut.

Bosphorus Cymbals New Zealand Limited is the sole importer of Bosphorus Cymbals in New Zealand. We bring these magnificent instruments to New Zealand drummers and pass them on at the lowest possible prices.

These cymbals capture the earthy quality of Stanton’s trademark sound --- raw and aggressive but always musical and extremely funky. All cymbals in this series have traditional lathing on the top and wide lathing on the bottom.

Wide Ride 20" and 22" Traditional lathing on the top with wide lathing on the bottom gives a balanced combination of warm wash and clean stick definition. A perfect blend of projection and sensitivity. Trash Crash 20" Uneven wobbly edges and deeply hammered pockets on the playing surface give a warm trashy crash but with enough stick definition to use as a trashy ride. Smash Crash 16" and 18" Plenty of cut with a controlled dark end. Pang Thang 20" This China type cymbal with flanged edges gives piercing crashes, plenty of low end wash and warm, clean stick definition when used as a ride. Fat Hats 14" Stanton’s Fat Hats are traditionally lathed on the top with wide lathing on the bottom for a warm but controlled sound that still has enough cut for amplified settings.
