Information

This Istanbul Agop Xist 21″ Brilliant Ride Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Istanbul Agop's Xist range brings the character of traditional Turkish cymbals to a more modern, accessible line, cast from B20 bronze and finished by hand in Istanbul. Xist carries that genuine made-in-Turkey pedigree at a price well below other Turkish B20 rides, without cutting corners on the alloy or the hand finishing. The brilliant finish gives this ride a brighter, cleaner voice, while the 21 inch size keeps it flexible enough to sit in almost any style.

Xist rides land around medium weight, so you get clear stick definition and strong projection with a sweet ping over a controlled wash. There is a little grit and growl in the body that keeps it from sounding sterile, and the bell is defined enough to cut when you need an accent. It holds up as a main ride from quiet passages through to louder playing, which makes it a versatile choice for drummers moving between rehearsal, stage and studio.

Key features:

• Brilliant finish for a brighter, cleaner ride voice
