Information

The Istanbul Agop XIST 15" Brilliant Crash Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Handcrafted from B20 bronze alloy, this crash cymbal is part of the XIST Brilliant series, combining modern production techniques with traditional Turkish cymbal making. It features a fully lathed surface with a highly polished brilliant finish, enhancing both its visual appeal and high-frequency response. The medium-thin weight and 15" diameter provide a responsive feel with a slightly higher pitch, while maintaining a balanced tonal profile and consistent projection across a wide dynamic range.

This crash cymbal delivers a bright, clean attack with a fast, papery response and a smooth medium decay. The brilliant finish adds shimmer and clarity, allowing the cymbal to cut through the mix while retaining a controlled wash. Stick definition sits just beneath the wash, making it suitable for both accents and light riding. Its articulate response and balanced sustain make it highly versatile across styles including pop, rock, funk and modern studio work.
