The Istanbul Agop XIST 18" Brilliant Crash Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and delivers a bright, powerful and highly musical crash sound. Combining traditional Turkish cymbal making techniques with modern production methods, the XIST Series offers professional-quality performance with excellent consistency, while the brilliant finish enhances projection, clarity and visual appeal.

The 18" diameter provides a full, expressive attack with plenty of body, making it an ideal all-round crash for a wide variety of musical styles. Its brilliant finish adds extra shimmer and definition, helping the cymbal cut through dense mixes while retaining the warmth and tonal complexity expected from a handcrafted Istanbul Agop cymbal. The balanced profile produces a smooth, controlled wash with a natural sustain that feels equally comfortable in live and studio environments.

Ideal for rock, pop, indie, funk, blues, contemporary worship and commercial music, the XIST 18" Brilliant Crash Cymbal is an excellent choice for drummers looking for a versatile crash with added sparkle and projection. Whether used as a primary crash or alongside darker cymbals for greater tonal contrast, it delivers a lively, expressive voice with outstanding musicality.
