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.

Sound & Feel:

• Bright, trashy and explosive attack
• Fast, controlled decay
• Cutting tone that slices through the mix
• Focused projection with modern clarity
• Highly responsive for quick accents and effects

Built to Perform:

• Crafted from cast B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin)
• Pre-form casting process for consistency and strength
• Brilliant finish enhances high-frequency presence
• Designed for durability in live and studio use
• Balanced for both power and control

Ideal For:

• Rock, metal, fusion and modern styles
• Drummers needing bright, cutting trash accents
• Live performance and studio recording
• Players seeking modern sound with traditional craftsmanship
• Musicians wanting professional quality at an accessible price
