This Istanbul Agop Xist Brilliant Cymbal Pack with FREE 18″ Crash is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

This set brings together the core pieces from the Xist range in the brilliant finish: a 14″ pair of hi-hats, a 16″ crash and a 20″ ride, plus a free 18″ crash and a cymbal bag included at no extra cost. Every piece is cast from B20 bronze and hand-hammered in Istanbul, blending modern production methods with the traditional Turkish techniques that have defined Istanbul Agop's sound for decades. Xist uses a faster finishing process than Istanbul Agop's higher-end ranges, which is what keeps the price down, not the materials or the craftsmanship behind it. What you get here is a genuine, professional-grade B20 cymbal setup, five cymbals and a bag, at a price that undercuts other Turkish packs of the same standard by some distance.

The brilliant finish lifts the top end across the whole set, giving added shimmer and cut. The hi-hats are crisp and articulate, the 16″ crash opens with a bright, explosive attack and a controlled sustain, and the 20″ ride delivers clear stick definition over a musical, expressive wash. The free 18″ crash sits between the two, adding extra projection and tonal flexibility, so you have a genuinely versatile crash pairing rather than just one option. Together the five pieces cover rock, pop, indie, funk, blues, worship and commercial music comfortably, on stage, in the studio, or both.

As a team of professional working drummers, this is a set we recommend without hesitation. Buying matched as a set like this, rather than piece by piece, is the single best value move you can make on genuine B20 cymbals, and getting a full five-piece setup with a free extra crash and a bag included takes that value further still. If your budget allows stretching that little bit further for the real thing over a cheaper alloy set, it is money well spent. You can't tune a cymbal the way you can tune a drum, so the quality has to be right from the moment it leaves the factory, and that's exactly where Xist earns its reputation as a proper professional set.
