The Istanbul Agop XIST 8" ION Splash Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and delivers an ultra-fast, explosive accent with a distinctive trashy character. Part of the innovative XIST Series, it combines traditional Turkish cymbal making techniques with modern production methods, while its precision-cut holes create an exceptionally dry response with minimal sustain.

The compact 8" diameter provides an incredibly immediate attack, making it perfect for quick accents, intricate fills and modern effects playing. The ION hole pattern reduces air resistance and shortens the cymbal's decay, producing a crisp, aggressive sound that cuts through the mix without lingering. Despite its compact size, the handcrafted B20 bronze construction retains the warmth and tonal complexity that have become hallmarks of Istanbul Agop cymbals.

Ideal for rock, metal, funk, fusion, gospel, contemporary worship and studio performance, the XIST 8" ION Splash Cymbal is an excellent choice for drummers looking to add fast, punchy effects to their setup. Whether used on its own or paired with other effects cymbals, it delivers a unique voice with exceptional speed, control and musicality.
