About
Our story…
Our Beginnings
My name is Ibrahim Diril and I was born in Samsun, Turkey in 1976. Samsun is located in the Blacksea region with a population of six hundred thousand people. I became a part of the cymbal making industry at the age of 17 years and I came to be a good craftsmen in a very short time in the company I was working for. Me and my four cousins moved to Istanbul to develop our skills because reputable cymbal makers were all there and European cymbals buyers were their customers. I spent years working for well-known Turkish cymbal makers until I decided to go independent and my dream became a reality in 2008.
During my employment with different companies, the cymbals I made have decorated the shelves of the companies I worked for in various events, like the “NAMM SHOW” and the “Musik Messe”. I went back to Samsun and decided to have my own name and brand. The “Diril Cymbals” company was established in 2008. We started producing and exporting cymbals right away to quite a large numbers of foreign countries.

Making cymbals is a passion for us. It will remain being like that. We will continue making them by hand and we don’t approve using machines for that. Cymbal making is an art and machines should not be used to destroy it.
