BOSPHORUS/AGOP Comparison Chart I try my best to keep this up to date, but alas, it is near impossible! Many Agop Endorser models not listed, as these change frequently. Direct questions my way. |
Traditional |
Hi-Hats |
regular/dark |
lathed |
lathed |
13, 14, (15) |
Lighter and lower pitched than the light hi-hat, these cymbals are good for
many different low volume applications. They combine an earthy, musical
chick with a defined, tight stick sound. The open/closed sound speaks with
minimal effort. |
light/crisp |
lathed |
lathed |
13, 14, (15) |
Full-bodied and strong, the regular hi hat is slightly heavier than the
regular hi hat series. A heavier bottom cymbal makes the overall appearance
brighter yet the open/closed sound is deep and raspy. These cymbals respond
equally well in most all situations. |
medium/bright |
lathed |
lathed |
13, 14, (15) |
Clean, versatile hi-hats that allow the player to bend between acoustic and
amplified situations. Being slightly heavier, the stick sound is bright and
cutting and the half open sound projects with ease. When called upon they
also respond quickly and articulately to intricate, light stick and foot
patterns. |
Crash |
paper-thin |
lathed |
lathed |
(15), 16, 17, 18 |
A mellow, delicate instrument with a soft tone and immediate decay. Lively
and quick to respond with a golden shimmer. An extremely controllable,
musical crash that breathes when played. |
thin |
lathed |
lathed |
(15), 16, 17, 18 |
Erupts quickly and sounds best when played with a light touch. A texture of
smoky tones is emitted when the cymbal is "warmed up". Ideal for light
players. |
med-thin |
lathed |
lathed |
(15), 16, 17, 18 |
Brighter and stronger than the thin crash, the Medium-Thin Crash has longer,
thicker sustain suitable for moderate volume situations. A flexible cymbal
that lends itself to many different styles. |
medium |
lathed |
lathed |
(15), 16, 17, 18 |
A quick, bright, crash with fast attack and short sustain. Full bodied with
even pitch this cymbal responds nicely when played lightly or forcefully. A
good all- around crash. |
Jazz Crash/Ride |
medium-ish, but often lighter |
lathed |
lathed |
18, 19 |
Pretty, light ride patterns and
strong, heavy crashes are both possible from this cymbal. A smaller bell
allows excellent stick definition without unwanted wash while retaining the
characteristic properties of a crash. Extremely versatile. |
Ride |
original/thin |
lathed |
lathed |
19, 20, 21 22 |
A silvery, transparent cymbal laden with tradition. A smaller bell allows
velvety wash while retaining smooth, articulate stick sounds. A cushion of
sound emanates when crashed and decays quickly without losing focus. Very
similar to sounds heard in the 60's and 70's. |
light/med-thin |
lathed |
lathed |
19, 20, 21 22 |
A sharp, clean ride that spreads
generously when played. Thinner and lower pitched than the medium ride, the light
ride combines rich harmonics with precise ping and controllable crashes.
|
medium |
lathed |
lathed |
19, 20, 21 22 |
With fewer overtones, this cymbal's bright and lively ping shines even in
the hands of heavy players. A large bell also provides sharp accents and
funky ride patterns. |
Flat Ride |
medium |
lathed |
lathed |
19, 20, 21 22 |
Shimmery, silvery, sounding ride that produce a very mellow yet defined ping
with minimal spread. Overall mid-range in sound, sticks speak with a tight,
high pitched slap. A good choice for moderate volume work where precision
and color are paramount. |
Splash |
ex. thin |
lathed |
lathed |
8, 9, 10, 11, 12 |
A very delicate cymbal that reaches it peak immediately and
drops off with instant decay. An explosive, shimmery attack very reminiscent
of shattering glass. Great for quick crashes and chokes. |
China |
thin |
lathed |
lathed |
18, 20, 22 |
A dark, exotic, dirty crash with explosive attack and quick decay. Also an
excellent choice for trashy ride patterns. A rich ping is supported by
rumbling, oriental undertones. Crashing and riding this cymbal produces a
thick cloud of white noise. |
Antique |
Hi-Hats |
regular/dark |
partial-striped |
lathed |
12, 13, 14, (15) |
Tight and dry when played with the foot, dark and earthy when played half
open. The stick sound is warm and defined responding to the most sensitive
touch. A great choice for studio work and live acoustic applications. |
light/crisp |
partial-striped |
lathed |
12, 13, 14, (15) |
Full-bodied and strong, these cymbals are slightly heavier than the regular
hi hat series. Equally effective in soft and loud volume situations, the
closed sound is very focused and penetrating while the half open sound is
musical and cutting. A bright, clean, versatile pair of hi hats. |
medium/bright |
partial-striped |
lathed |
12, 13, 14, (15) |
A bright, pronounced pair of cymbals slightly higher in pitch than the
regular hi hat. The chick sound is solid and penetrating while the half open
sound produces a sheet of silvery wash. Perfect for loud situations where
definition is not sacrificed for power. |
Crash |
paper-thin |
partial-striped |
lathed |
(15), 16, 17,
18 |
A very dark, mellow accent cymbal with an immediate "drop off". This crash
combines the quick, short aspects of a splash cymbal and the power
properties of a regular crash. |
thin |
partial-striped |
lathed |
(15), 16, 17,
18 |
A thin, immediate crash which explodes quickly and has moderate sustain. The
body is full and warm with equal balances of high and low frequencies. An
excellent sound compliment to the traditional crashes. |
med-thin |
partial-striped |
lathed |
(15), 16, 17,
18 |
Slightly heavier and higher pitched than the thin crash. Moderate sustain
makes this cymbal a good choice for many different playing situations. Light
ride possibilities exist if played delicately. |
medium |
partial-striped |
lathed |
(15), 16, 17,
18 |
A little heavier than the medium-thin, this weight is great when higher
volume is needed, or to be used as a ride when delicately played. |
Jazz Crash/Ride |
medium-ish, but often lighter |
partial-striped |
partial-striped |
18, 19 |
A great
multi-purpose cymbal that can be used as a ride in low volume settings and
as a powerful crash for louder applications. The ride sound produces a high
pitched ping surrounded by warm, dark undertones. The crash explodes into a
rich, complex array of sound decaying quickly afterward. |
Ride |
original/thin |
partial-striped |
lathed |
19, 20, 21 22, (24) |
A dark and shimmery cymbal with plenty of overtones and warm, rich stick
definition. It has dry, mellow qualities found mainly in older, already
played cymbals. Shoulder crashes make the cymbal open up without being
overpowering. A great choice for low volume, acoustic settings. |
light/med-thin |
partial-striped |
lathed |
19, 20, 21 22, (24) |
Thinner and lower pitched than the Medium ride, the light ride has a soft,
bouncy feel. It has a woody, dark ping sound that is complimented by a
generous amount of wash. A medium size bell helps control the overtones
while allowing the player many crash possibilities. |
medium |
partial-striped |
lathed |
19, 20, 21 22, (24) |
The medium ride speaks with a bold, emphasized stick sound and a controlled
amount of spread. Thick enough to be played forcefully yet it doesn't sound
"gongy" when crashed. The bell sound is bright and clean. |
Flat Ride |
med-thin |
partial-striped |
lathed |
(19, 20, 21 22, 24) |
A mellow, dry cymbal filled with character. Sharp, precise stick sound is
accompanied by minimal dark overtones. A complex, musical instrument that is
perfect for low volume applications. |
Splash |
ex. thin |
partial-striped |
lathed |
8, 9, 10, 11,

Light and warm hi-hats. Excellent for low volume situations, where delicate,
beautiful response is required. |
light/crisp |
unlathed |
unlathed |
13, 14, 15, (16) |
Slightly brighter than the Regular hi-hat model, the light hi-hats produce a
full-bodied chick and a lively, clean stick sound. Excellent for medium and
low volume playing situations. |
medium/bright |
unlathed |
unlathed |
13, 14, 15, (16) |
A well rounded pair of hi-hats featuring a slightly heavier than normal
bottom cymbal. More powerful than the Light hi-hat, these cymbals also
produce a brighter tone when struck with a stick or played with the foot. A
full, musical wash appears when the cymbals are played half open.
|
Ride |
original/thin |
unlathed |
unlathed |
19, 20, 21, 22, 24 |
Unlike most unlathed cymbals, the original ride has a distinct shimmering
quality. It has a slightly smaller bell than the other Turk rides and is
somewhat higher in pitch than the Light ride. A wonderfully sweet sounding
cymbal that would fit nicely in low volume, acoustic settings. |
light/med-thin |
unlathed |
unlathed |
19, 20, 21, 22, 24 |
A lush ride with a deep, rich ping. Excellent definition yet flexible enough
to be lightly crashed without overpowering an acoustic setting. A cushiony
wash cradles the stick sound with mellow, breathy air. |
medium |
unlathed |
unlathed |
19, 20, 21, 22, 24 |
A good all purpose dry ride. Lower pitched than the Ride, the medium

A very light weight hi-hat that plays very light, however, can open up when

"chick". A perfect jazz hi hat pair for the vintage crowd. |
Crash |

A thin, immediate crash which explodes quickly and has moderate sustain. The
body is full and warm with equal balances of high and low frequencies. As
with all the New Orleans line, the instrument has trashy undertones yes is
still well behaved in a jazz playing situation. An excellent jazz, funk, and
fusion crash. |
Ride |
med-thin |
partially lathed |
partially

20, 21, 22, (24) |
A thin ride
that is in between the "Traditional Original" weight and our
"Masters" weight. The instrument is fundamentally low in pitch, dry yet open
and provides excellent stick articulation. The 21" and 22" exaggerate the
trashy undertones of this line. An excellent Ride for jazz, funk, or fusion
and appealing to those who have a taste for vintage cymbals. |
Masters |
Hi-Hats |
Ex. Thin |
partially lathed |
partially lathed |
13, 14, (15, 16) |
Luscious, warm and full-bodied the Master Hi-hats are the perfect companion
to the Master rides. At moderate volumes these cymbals are crisp and tight
with sticks and extremely articulate with brushes. When played half-opened
the hi-hats breathe a thick blanket of sound. When closed the chick is warm
and silvery. Half- lathed bell areas and unlathed bottoms (on both cymbals)
give these hi-hats a striking appearance along with unparalleled musicality.

Low pitched and warm, with a

19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 26, 28 |
A dark, warm, low-pitched cymbal that produces a generous cushion of sound.
The ping is a mellow, woody, "slap" and the cymbal body has a soft, giving
feel when played. A wash of smoky undertones support the stick definition
even during up tempo passages. A characteristically small, shallow bell
along with a slightly curved profile recreates the historic sound commonly
found in jazz, blues, and big-band music from the 30's to the 60's. |
Flat Ride |
Ex. Thin |
lathed |
lathed |
19, 20, 21, 22, 24 |
A very unique cymbal that is much thinner and darker than today's
traditional flat rides. Incredible stick definition along with musky, low
undertones make this cymbal a natural choice for acoustic settings. Even
without rivets a natural "sizzle" sound is present. Responding best to light
stick work, it can also be controlled quite easily when lightly crashed.

A very light
weight top cymbal paired with a medium heavy bottom cymbal give this set of
hi-hats a beautifully delicate sound. They are dark and throaty when played
in the open/closed fashion and when played closed they emit a crisp, tight
stick sound. The chick responds with great presence at any volume and blends
beautifully when played softly. They are also a natural match for brush
players looking for a delicate, unobtrusive accompanying hi-hat |
Ride |

22 |
A dark, complex cymbal with great stick definition accompanied by warm, low undertones. The weight of the cymbal is just heavier than the Master's series rides and the bell is also a bit larger. It has a generously curved profile and the edge slightly flanges downward. This ride speaks clearly in large ensembles and allows the player to "dig in" without the fear of sacrificing definition. It opens easily for shoulder crashes and floats warmly when rolled upon with mallets. |
Ride/Crash |

Like the 22" Hammer ride
(curved profile, larger bell) however it is lighter in weight to allow for
crashing. It produces a silvery ping, which rides above a rich, warm bed of
undertones. When crashing the cymbal produces a vast array of colors and
disappears quickly allowing the player immediate accesses to controlled,
delicate riding. An excellent choice for riding in soft accompaniment
sections and in jazz trios. |

A china-like variant with a very shallow flange that's nearly flat. Gives a warmer tone than a typical china. Rides amazingly well, and crashes great also. Mellow, not penetrating and rich. Differs from the Trash Crash in that it's more Chinese sounding, and not so much as trashy as the trash crash. |

A highly hand-buffed crash that literally explodes upon impact with minimal
effort. The crash has great cut and projection and features a quick decay.
The cymbal could easily be defined as a "fast crash". This is the perfect
cymbal for a Timbale setup, however, this cymbal is much more....it is also
the perfect Rock crash. |

A ride cymbal that is as versatile as it is beautiful. The cymbal itself is
a combination of an unlathed playing area and a lathed and polished outer
edge. Unlike the Antique Series the lathing areas are separate and distinct.
The bell is in the unlathed portion of the cymbal and provides a nice dry
and definitive ping that is warm but not overpowering. The ride boasts clear
ping with controlled wash. Mr. Berroa designed this cymbal to be played in a
myriad of playing situations that include Rock, Jazz, Afro-Cuban, and World
and the cymbal delivers BIG in all areas. A fantastic all-purpose ride.
