For centuries, Turkey has been the cradle for the art of hand-hammered cymbals. Bosphorus continues this tradition by offering the only full line of handmade cymbals. From our earthy, unlathed Turk Series through our polished, cutting Gold Series, each and every cymbal is crafted and hammered by our Master Cymbal Smiths.

  • Bosphorus Antique Series

    The Antique Series marries the two lating patterns found on the Traditional Series and the Turk Series to provide the performer with the brilliance of a classic, lathed cymbal and the dryness of a raw, unlathed cymbal.

  • Bosphorus Artist Series

    The Artist Series consists of the Hammer Series, developed for Bosphorus by award winning drummer Jeff Hamilton.

  • Bosphorus Gold Series

    Each Gold Series cymbal is hand hammered complimented by a high gloss finish.

  • Bosphorus Masters Series

    Like all Bosphorus cymbals, they are completely hand made from the casting process through the final hammering.

  • Bosphorus Traditional Series

    Cymbals from this series are diverse enough to be used in delicate symphonic situations and aggressive enough to be played in arena rock concerts.

  • Bosphorus Turk Series

    Visually striking and aurally awesome the Turk Series is characterized by its dry, earthy sound and controlled array of overtones.
