The Istanbul Agop XIST 18” Crash Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Handcrafted from B20 bronze alloy, this crash cymbal is part of the XIST series, combining modern production techniques with traditional Turkish cymbal making processes. Designed to offer professional quality at an accessible level, it features a fully lathed surface with a natural finish, delivering a balanced tonal profile with consistent response. The 18" diameter and medium-thin weight provide a versatile feel, offering a blend of responsiveness, projection and control suitable for a wide range of musical settings.

This crash cymbal delivers a fast, papery attack followed by a smooth, medium decay, creating a controlled yet expressive wash. The response is quick and musical, with enough spread to open up in louder contexts while remaining defined at lower dynamics. Stick response sits just beneath the wash, allowing for fluid transitions between accents and riding. This cymbal is highly versatile, suited to styles ranging from rock and pop through to funk, fusion and studio applications.
