Anatolian 18" Expression China Cymbal

Handcrafted B20plus Bronze Effect Cymbal – Powerful Turkish Sound

The Anatolian 18" Expression China is a handcrafted high-end effect cymbal known for its explosive, cutting character and musical complexity. Part of the premium Expression series, it is made in Istanbul using proprietary B20plus bronze alloy.

Each cymbal is traditionally cast, tempered, rolled, hand hammered, and lathed by master craftsmen, resulting in a unique tonal personality and organic response.

Its sound combines a full-bodied, aggressive attack with a controlled sustain and a defined tonal core, making it highly versatile in modern drum setups.

Thanks to its wide dynamic range and strong projection, it performs exceptionally well in medium to high-volume music styles, especially where presence and impact are essential.
