The Xist Series combines modern production techniques with traditional Turkish cymbal-making processes, allowing Istanbul Agop to deliver professional-grade cymbals that remain accessible to drummers at any level.

Bright, focused and adaptable, they are well suited to high-energy rock environments while remaining controlled enough for lower-volume applications.
