At the Turkish cymbals booth artists and series designer Özgür Can Öney shows us some of their special cymbals, including their 25th anniversary model ride. Next Jarrod Cagwin and Lale E. Kardeş demonstrate their signature cymbals.
About Özgür Can Öney:
He was born in 1980 in Ankara. He started playing drums in 1997. She took her first lessons from Gürcan Konanç. She settled in Istanbul in 2004. She took lessons from Okan Duman and Cengiz Baysal in Istanbul between 2004-2006. Afterwards, she studied harmony with Serhat Ersöz for a while in 2009.
She attended the drum camp held in Ankara in 2013 with Thomas Lang, Steve Smith and JoJo Mayer. She attended Michael Schack’s masterclasses on vdrums in 2018.
Özgür, who has improved himself on rock drumming in general, focuses on working with a metronome, funk playing, method tracking, using twin pedals, sticking, studio drumming, electronic music and playing with infrastructure. With his experience in the profession of musician, which he thinks cannot develop independently of the sector, Özgür aims not only to play instruments, but also to educate his students on the requirements of the sector by sharing his knowledge of human relations and duty consciousness.
Özgür started to give one-to-one lessons in his private studio in Beyoğlu Tünel between 2014-2018, then taught more than two hundred students in total at Ragıp Savaş Art Center, Buket Doran Home Studio and Zuhal Music Academy in the Zuhal Music Hilltown store. Özgür, who thinks that learning and teaching has no age, continues to help those who want to improve themselves and develop themselves with the inspiration he receives from his teachers.
Continuing his music life with maNga since 2001, Özgür has also performed with Straitjacket, OTR, Ambulance, Bangkog BB and Glasxs in the past years. Özgür Can Öney, who provides consultancy services to Turkish Cymbals, has participated in Namm Show, Frankfurt Musik Messe and Uk Drum Show dozens of times with the company for over 10 years. He gave workshops at D52 Drum Festivals and Zuhal Music stores in big cities.
About Jarrod Cagwin:
(TURKEY) Born and raised in rural Iowa, USA, Jarrod graduated with honours from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. His love of different cultures and music has influenced him in the development of his unique approach to incorporating hand drums with traditional drum set styles. In 1999 he began working with Lebanese composer Rabih Abou-Khalil, shortly thereafter relocating to Europe where he has been actively touring and teaching throughout the continent. He is a percussionist for the internationally acclaimed singer Sezen Aksu from Turkey. From 2011 to 2014, Jarrod was an instructor at the State Conservatory of Music in Istanbul. He is the author of several method books for rhythmic development and instrumental instruction; notably Def Method (2014) for oriental tambourine, One by One for rhythm method, and accompanying composition 5 vor 7 vor 6 (2010) published by Ensemble Modern Media in Frankfurt. Other performing and recording credits include collaborations with Fahir Atakoğlu, Erkan Oğur, Derya Türkan, Fatih Ahıskalı, Joachim Kühn, Gvork Dabaghyan, Michel Godard, Luciano Biondini, Ricardo Ribeiro, Dusko Goykovich, Mehmet Emin Bitmez, Kudsi Erguner, Jean-Luc Fillion, Dalia Faitelson, Ferenç Snetberger, Dave Bargeron, Howard Levy, Joe Beck, & Dave Samuels. He is also a guest artist with the Ensemble Modern and The Next Step Percussion Group, and has been a featured soloist with the BBC Orchestra, the Macedonian Symphony Orchestra, and the Bundesjungendorchester from Germany. He conducts rhythmic training workshops for musicians and dancers, as well as frame drum and drum set clinics across Europe.
