The Istanbul Agop XIST 19" Dry Dark Ride Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and offers a distinctive blend of dry articulation, dark tonal character and exceptional control. Part of the innovative XIST Dry Dark Series, it features extensive hand hammering, an unlathed surface and a sandblasted finish, producing an earthy, focused voice with minimal overtones and a highly defined stick response.

The compact 19" diameter gives this ride a fast, immediate feel, making it ideal for drummers who prefer a responsive cymbal with excellent articulation. Deep hammer marks and the unlathed finish help keep the wash tightly controlled, allowing the clear, woody stick definition to remain at the forefront. Despite its dry character, the cymbal retains enough warmth and complexity to sound natural and musical, while its thinner profile allows it to open into a controlled crash when required.

Ideal for jazz, fusion, indie, alternative, contemporary worship and studio performance, the XIST 19" Dry Dark Ride Cymbal is an excellent choice for drummers seeking a modern ride with precision, control and handcrafted Turkish character. Its compact size and expressive response make it equally suited to intricate sticking, dynamic playing and more creative crash-ride applications.
