Description
The Xist Series blends modern production techniques with traditional Turkish cymbal-making processes, allowing Istanbul Agop to offer professional-quality cymbals at a price accessible to drummers of all levels. Using a pre-form casting method that requires significantly fewer hammer blows than traditional techniques, Xist cymbals deliver a powerful, modern sound while maintaining the musical depth of hand-crafted cymbals. Bright, focused and versatile, they are well suited to both high-volume rock environments and more controlled, lower-volume playing.
