The Istanbul Agop Sultan series is one of the most distinctive and musically sophisticated cymbal ranges in the Istanbul Agop lineup — a premium handcrafted collection with a dark, warm, and deeply complex character that sets it apart from the broader Traditional range.
The Sultan series covers every essential cymbal type. The
15" Sultan Hi-Hats are best for jazz and studio drummers who want a warm, dark, and highly responsive hi-hat at a slightly larger size — offering more weight and wash than a standard 14" pair. The crash range covers 16", 18", and 19", each with the dark, complex attack and rich decay that defines the Sultan character. The ride range is one of the most interesting in the series — offering three distinct options: the
20" Sultan Ride for a versatile, all-round dark ride sound; the
20" Sultan Jazz Ride for a lighter, more articulate jazz-focused response; and the
22" Sultan Jazz Ride for drummers who want a larger, more commanding jazz ride with greater wash and presence. The 8" and 10" Sultan splashes are best for dark, musical accents that blend naturally with the rest of the Sultan setup.
The Sultan series sits alongside the
Traditional and
30th Anniversary series at the premium end of the Istanbul Agop lineup. For drummers looking for a more accessible entry point, the
Xist Traditional or
Xist Dry Dark ranges offer a darker Istanbul Agop character at a more accessible price.
