Allaturca cymbals hosted Round Sound at their factory in Terme, Türkiye 🇹🇷. These guys are legit!! Attention to detail, passion, consistency, and one of the cleanest factories I’ve ever seen. It’s like when you walk into a mechanic’s shop. If it’s clean, you know they do good work. Don’t sleep on Allaturca.

We’re back in Istanbul at the Bosphorus Cymbals factory. Before we arrived we challenged head smith, Senar to get creative. Here’s a peek 👀 at the some of the stuff that sounded the best and will be landing at roundsoundcymbals.com

We love it when students come in with their teachers! Clive was due for a serious upgrade so he brought his teacher, Kelly Ralston to help choose the right thing. These Bosphorus Cymbals Turk ride and hats were the winning combo! Thanks guys!

Genesis Fermin stopped in looking for a ride that had some character, wasn’t crazy expensive, and could mesh with their other Turkish made cymbals. Once again the RSC 22” Oaktown comes through! Thank you Genesis and Happy Birthday!

PANG!
There really just aren’t that many cymbals that sound like this! It’s dignified, rideable, and elegant. It’s not a China (the fl**ge isn’t as steep), it’s obviously not a Ride, but they named it after the way it sounds….PANG. We’re big fans of that. Anywho, it’s available at roundsoundcymbals.com

Krish needed a 16” crash that A) didn’t break the bank B) Sounded GOOD and C) could withstand some aggressive playing. Enter the Sideshow Series from our house brand, RSC! Thanks Krish!
