Istanbul Agop 21″ Xist Dry Dark Brilliant Crash Cymbal

£264.00

The Istanbul Agop 21″ Xist Dry Dark Brilliant Crash Cymbal delivers a bold, modern voice with explosive attack and tightly controlled decay. Thin and highly malleable, this cymbal responds instantly, producing a higher-pitched, cutting crash that quickly fades into a dark, dry wash. With slightly increased weight compared to the original Xist Dry Dark models, the Brilliant version offers greater volume and projection while preserving its complex, trashy character. It can also function as a unique, dry ride for lower-volume music, making it a remarkably versatile choice.

Key Features:

• 21″ crash cymbal with a dark, dry and trashy tonal profile
• Thin, malleable construction for fast and expressive response
• Higher-pitched, explosive attack with a very quick decay
• Slightly heavier than original Xist Dry Dark models for added volume
• Increased projection while retaining complex, controlled character
• Can be used as a dry, cutting ride for lower-volume playing
• Crafted from premium B20 bronze
• Brilliant finish for a striking modern appearance
