Producing Bosphorus Master

Before masters at the Bosphorus factory start hammering, every cymbal looks more or less the same differing only by weight and bell sizes. The initial steps of the Bosphorus cymbal production consists of melting metal in wood-coal fired pits to achieve the B20 Bosphorus alloy for casting. Then the process is followed by rolling and baking the cast in a wood-burning oven several times to make cymbal blanks. Next theses are placed in a water bath to achieve durability and resistance followed by stamping the bell and cutting the edges in circle. This uncut video shows how hand hammering shapes the profile and lathing that makes the series, here a Master 17" Crash in its final steps of the production. The time and effort to make a ride is around twice as much.

Thank you so much for showing this process uncut and without adding any soundtrack. I found the whole thing to be not only fascinating but also mesmerising - those almost 50 minutes just flew past!

Art! These cymbals are works of art. I feel fortunate to have a 20" masters ride with that same dude's signature under the bell.

I wish I could go to the factory & sit beside these artisans to just watch them and ask questions. I could learn something that has always been a passion of mine. Such an in depth experience here. My complements to everyone who labored for the love of my hobby, playing drums.

Great to see that the art of cymbal smithing is alive and kicking. Zildjian machine-hammer most of their products. Respect to these artisans.

I find it appropriate that something you bang on is made by banging on it!!!

Not too long ago I switched to Bosphorus cymbals for playing Jazz. I think they make the perfect cymbals for Jazz, because of the way they're created. Every dent on the cymbal is made by hand. This makes a cymbal difficult, but yet amazing to play on, because the tone will turn out different by moving your stick even an inch further. Really warm and natural sounding cymals, love them!
