Bosphorus 22" 1600 Era Ride Cymbal

This 22" Bosphorus 1600 Era Ride delivers a dark, smoky, and expressive ride sound inspired by the earliest traditions of Turkish cymbal making. It has a mature, old-world character with enough weight to provide confident stick definition while still offering the warm complexity and musical spread that make the 1600 Era Series so distinctive.

At 2260g, this ride has a clear, articulate stick sound supported by a warm, smoky wash. It feels controlled without being stiff, giving players a strong rhythmic foundation with room for nuance, color, and dynamic expression. The bell is musical and integrated, adding definition without feeling overly sharp or separate from the cymbal’s overall character.

The Bosphorus 1600 Era Series is especially well suited for players looking for a darker, more traditional cymbal voice with vintage-inspired depth and personality. This 22" ride works beautifully for jazz, acoustic music, roots music, soul, studio recording, and any setting where character, warmth, and musical complexity matter more than brightness or volume.
