Information

The Istanbul Agop XIST 16" ION Crash Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop XIST 16" ION Crash Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and is designed to deliver a fast, explosive response with a distinctive trashy character. Part of the innovative XIST Series, it combines traditional Turkish craftsmanship with modern production techniques, while its precision-cut holes create a drier, more aggressive sound with reduced sustain.

The 16" diameter provides a quick, punchy attack that responds instantly, making it ideal for sharp accents and energetic playing. The strategically placed cut-out holes reduce air resistance and shorten the cymbal's decay, producing a crisp, explosive crash with a raw, cutting edge that sits perfectly above the rest of the kit without overwhelming the mix. Despite its aggressive character, the cymbal retains the warmth and musicality associated with handcrafted B20 bronze.

Ideal for rock, metal, punk, funk, fusion and contemporary worship, the XIST 16" ION Crash Cymbal is a superb effects crash for drummers looking to add speed, texture and excitement to their setup. Whether used as a primary accent cymbal or alongside more traditional crashes, it delivers a unique voice with plenty of personality.
