Anatolian Cymbals is a Turkish cymbal manufacturer founded in 1999 in Istanbul by Temel and Baris Tamdeger, members of the Tamdeger family long associated with Turkish cymbal-making and previously involved with Istanbul Mehmet. The company operates its own foundry and follows the traditional Turkish hand-hammering approach, casting its bronze from a B20-plus alloy of roughly 80% copper and 20% tin along with proprietary additions.

The catalog spans more than thirty hand-made series aimed at a range of musical contexts, including the Ultimate, Emotion, Kappadokia, Jazz (with sub-lines such as Passion, Sparkle, and Velvet), Mystic FX, Dry, Brown Sugar, and BC Worship lines, along with a Signature program that produces models like the Groove Ride and Groove Hi-Hat developed in collaboration with endorsing drummers. Standard configurations cover hi-hats, rides, crashes, splashes, and Chinas across jazz, rock, fusion, and worship applications.
