The Sound You're Searching For

Along the banks of the Bosphorus Strait in Turkey the time honored tradition of cymbal making by hand is still alive. The Bos line begins with the TRADITIONAL series, representing Turkish cymbal making in its purest form. The ANTIQUE and TURK series relect the dry and earthy tones of a handmade instrument. The MASTERS series invokes sounds of the past and wake up the echoes of quintessential JAZZ recordings. The GOLD series combines old world warmth with a cool modern sound for cymbals that ROCK!. The HAMMER series comes straight from the ears of legendary jazz drummer Jeff Hamilton. Grammy winning drummer Ignacio Berroa brings true versatility to the Bosphorus palette with his VERSA series. Legendary funk drummer Stanton Moore brings some SERIOUS ATTITUDE to the line with his PANG THANG and TRASH CRASH. Finally, the NEW ORLEANS series invokes the spirit of the crescent city in a cymbal that is true to jazz, blues & funk as the city whom birthed it.
