Information

The Istanbul Agop XIST 15" Dark ION Hi Hat Cymbals are now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop XIST 15" Dark ION Hi Hat Cymbals are handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and combine the dry, earthy character of the Dark Series with the fast, aggressive response of the ION design. Featuring extensive hand hammering, a partially unlathed finish and precision-cut holes, they deliver a distinctive, modern hi-hat sound with exceptional control, articulation and personality.

The larger 15" diameter produces a deeper, fuller voice than traditional hi-hats, while the precision-cut holes help reduce air resistance, creating a quick, crisp response with a noticeably drier feel. Closed, they produce a tight, articulate chick with excellent stick definition, while opening them reveals a controlled, trashy wash that remains focused without excessive sustain. The darker finish and hand-hammered profile further enhance their warm, earthy character, making them a standout choice for drummers seeking something beyond a conventional hi-hat sound.

Ideal for rock, indie, alternative, funk, fusion, gospel, contemporary worship and studio performance, the XIST 15" Dark ION Hi Hat Cymbals offer a unique combination of projection, control and handcrafted Turkish character. Their modern voice makes them equally effective as a main pair of hi-hats or as an inspiring addition to a more experimental setup.
