£355.00

The Istanbul Agop 17″ Xist Dry Dark Brilliant Hi-Hat Cymbals deliver a bold, modern voice that blends dark, trashy character with a bright, pointed attack.

• Very thin top cymbal for fast response and expressive feel
• Medium-heavy bottom cymbal for added projection and control
• Slightly heavier than the original Xist Dry Dark model for increased volume
