Turkish Cymbals celebrated its 30th anniversary (1996–2026) at the 2026 NAMM Show in Anaheim, that took place January 22–24, with the unveiling of a special Anniversary Series at their Booth 7045. The milestone marks three decades of dedication to traditional cymbal craftsmanship, blending time-honored techniques with a refined modern sensibility.
The Anniversary Series introduces handcrafted, pre-aged 22” and 24” ride cymbals, designed to deliver dark, nuanced, and highly musical tones. Featuring deep, distinctive hammering, these cymbals emphasize warmth, articulation, and a distinctly “vintage” character that reflects the company’s roots in traditional Turkish cymbal making. Alongside the rides, the collection includes additional specially crafted, pre-aged cymbals developed exclusively for the anniversary release.
Visitors had the opportunity to explore not only the new Anniversary Series, but also Turkish Cymbals’ classic and custom offerings. The booth will also hosted appearances by notable artists including Jarrod Cagwin, Lale Kardeş, and Özgür Can Öney.
The 30th Anniversary Series stands as a testament to Turkish Cymbals’ ongoing commitment to hand-crafted artistry and the enduring value of traditional methods in modern cymbal production.
