Information

The Istanbul Agop XIST 17" Dark ION Crash Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop XIST 17" Dark ION Crash Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and combines the fast, explosive response of an ION crash with the dry, earthy character of the Dark Series. Featuring extensive hand hammering, a partially unlathed finish and precision-cut holes, it delivers a modern effects sound with exceptional control, making it an excellent choice for drummers looking to add aggressive accents without excessive sustain.

The 17" diameter provides a quick, responsive feel with a punchy attack and a dark, trashy voice that cuts through the mix without becoming overpowering. The cut-out holes help shorten the decay, while the darker finish and extensive hammering reduce high-frequency overtones, resulting in a focused crash with plenty of character and a controlled, complex wash. It responds effortlessly at a wide range of dynamics, making it equally effective for sharp accents and more expressive playing.

Ideal for rock, metal, indie, fusion, gospel, contemporary worship and studio performance, the XIST 17" Dark ION Crash Cymbal is a versatile effects cymbal that brings a unique blend of speed, warmth and aggression to any setup. Its distinctive voice makes it an ideal complement to both traditional and modern cymbal collections.
