Description

The Xist Series blends modern production techniques with traditional Turkish cymbal-making processes, allowing Istanbul Agop to offer professional-quality cymbals at a more accessible price point. Using a pre-form casting method that requires significantly fewer hammer blows than traditional methods, Xist cymbals achieve a powerful, focused sound while retaining musical warmth and complexity. This approach results in cymbals that are bright and cutting enough for rock and contemporary styles, yet controlled enough for lower-volume settings.

Sound & Feel:

• Bright, modern ride tone
• Clear and articulate stick definition
• Warm, controlled sustain
• Moderate overtones for musical complexity
• Smooth, responsive playing feel

Built to Perform:

• Crafted from cast B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin)
• Pre-form casting ensures tonal consistency
• Brilliant finish enhances clarity and presence
• Designed for durability in live and studio use
• Balanced for projection without harshness

Ideal For:

• Rock, pop, fusion and contemporary styles
• Drummers seeking a bright ride with controlled wash
• Live performance and studio recording
• Players who value strong stick definition
• Musicians wanting professional quality at an accessible price
