The Bosphorus XT Edition cymbals are a bold evolution of the beloved Traditional Series — redesigned to meet the demands of today’s dynamic music landscape. Featuring a newly developed, larger bell shape, the XT Edition delivers a more pronounced sound with enhanced projection and a noticeably higher pitch, making them stand out in any mix.

The ride cymbals in this series offer a tighter stick definition and faster response, giving drummers the precision they need for intricate patterns and fluid playing. The crashes are sharp, cutting through the mix with clarity and power, yet retaining the musical warmth Bosphorus is known for.

Each cymbal in the XT Edition has been meticulously sized and weighted to deliver optimal performance both live on stage and in the studio. Whether you're playing jazz, rock, fusion, or anything in between, these cymbals offer the versatility and character required by modern drummers who want their sound to evolve with the times.

The XT Edition is not just a tweak — it’s a transformation built for musicians who push boundaries.

• Hand crafted in Istanbul, Turkey
• XT Edition cymbals have a new bell shape which are bigger than regular Traditional Series cymbals and generates more pronounced sound with a higher pitch. Also rides have more focused stick definition and immediate response while the crashes cut clearly through the music.
• The story of XT Edition cymbals started when Robert Brian showed up and said he love the Traditional Series but needed some modifications on the cymbals to meet his needs for the new projects. We ended up with an updated design which is not possible to call as regular Traditional Series anymore.
• The cymbal sizes and weights fixed to get the best results in both live and studio settings for a vast array of genres from Jazz to Rock.
