Information

The Istanbul Agop XIST 17" Dry Dark Crash Cymbal is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

The Istanbul Agop XIST 17" Dry Dark Crash Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and delivers a fast, dark and highly controlled crash response. Part of the innovative XIST Dry Dark Series, it features an extensively hand hammered profile, an unlathed surface and a distinctive sandblasted finish, creating a dry, earthy voice with exceptional clarity and minimal high-frequency overtones.

Its 17" diameter and thinner weight allow the cymbal to open up quickly with a sharp, punchy attack before disappearing into a short, controlled decay. The combination of deep hammer marks and the unlathed finish keeps sustain to a minimum while enhancing the cymbal's complex, trashy character. This makes it an excellent choice for drummers who want a crash that speaks immediately without creating excessive wash or clutter within a mix.

Ideal for modern jazz, funk, fusion, indie, alternative, contemporary worship and studio performance, the XIST 17" Dry Dark Crash Cymbal excels in situations where articulation, control and tonal character are paramount. Its unique blend of dryness, warmth and handcrafted musicality makes it a standout option for players seeking something beyond the sound of a traditional crash cymbal.
