Information

This Istanbul Agop Xist 19″ Brilliant Crash Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Xist series blends traditional Turkish cymbal making with a more modern production process, giving you cast B20 bronze and hand hammering at a price that stays accessible. The brilliant finish is the brighter of the two Xist options, buffed to a polished surface that lifts the top end and adds shimmer to the attack compared with the natural finish in the same range.

At 19 inches this crash has a papery, fast attack with a medium decay, opening quickly and clearly before settling back into the kit. It responds well to articulate sticking, so it suits players who want a bright, expressive crash that still holds a warm, musical core underneath. The slightly larger 19 inch size gives it a touch more body and volume than smaller Xist crashes, while still staying controlled rather than washy, making it a strong choice as a main crash on a compact kit or as a livelier counterpart to a darker natural-finish cymbal elsewhere in the setup.

Key features:

• Polished brilliant finish for a brighter attack and added shimmer
• Papery, fast response with a clean, medium decay
• Warm, musical core beneath the bright top end
• Responsive to articulate sticking and dynamic control
• Cast B20 bronze, hand-hammered in the Istanbul Agop tradition
• 19 inch size adds body over smaller Xist crashes while staying controlled
