AGEAN CYMBALS INTRODUCES: DARK R LOW NOISE SERIES
Tradition Meets Modern Sound
Agean Cymbals proudly announces the newest addition to its groundbreaking Low Noise lineup: Dark R.
Designed for drummers who demand authentic cymbal feel and musicality at reduced volume levels, the new Dark R series combines the dark, aggressive visual character of the Beast series with the advanced perforated construction of Agean’s renowned Low Noise concept.
The result is a cymbal series that looks powerful, feels natural, and performs with remarkably low volume without sacrificing the soul of real Turkish cymbals.
Unlike many low volume cymbals on the market, Dark R cymbals are not simplified or mass-produced alternatives. Every cymbal is handcrafted from genuine B20 bronze using the exact same traditional Turkish cymbal-making process as our regular professional cymbals.
The difference comes only after the cymbal is fully completed.
Each cymbal is then individually perforated with more than 2,000 precision-cut holes depending on the size, transforming a full professional cymbal into an incredibly responsive low volume instrument while preserving natural stick feel, dynamic response, and musical character.
This is where true tradition meets modern sound.
Dark R is ideal for home practice sessions, apartments and shared living spaces, small gigs and intimate venues, coffee houses and little bars, low volume rehearsals, acoustic performances, and educational environments.
With the launch of Dark R, Agean Cymbals now offers four distinct Low Noise series:
Regular R
Natural R
Flat R
Dark R
This achievement marks a major milestone in the world of Turkish cymbal manufacturing. While many manufacturers still do not offer even a single handcrafted low noise series, Agean now leads the field with four completely different tonal and visual concepts dedicated to low volume performance.
Our investment into low noise cymbal development reflects both our dedication to innovation and our deep understanding of modern drummers’ needs.
