The Istanbul Agop XIST 20" Dry Dark Crash Cymbal is handcrafted from premium B20 bronze and delivers a deep, dark and highly controlled crash sound with exceptional musical character. Part of the acclaimed XIST Dry Dark Series, it features extensive hand hammering, an unlathed surface and a distinctive sandblasted finish, creating a dry, earthy voice with minimal overtones and outstanding articulation.

The larger 20" diameter produces a lower fundamental pitch and a broader, more powerful crash than the smaller models in the range, while its thin weight allows the cymbal to respond surprisingly quickly. Deep hammer marks contribute to its complex, trashy character, while the unlathed finish keeps sustain short and focused, preventing the wash from becoming overpowering. The result is a crash that feels explosive yet controlled, with plenty of warmth and texture.

Ideal for modern jazz, fusion, indie, alternative, contemporary worship and studio performance, the XIST 20" Dry Dark Crash Cymbal is perfect for drummers who want a larger crash with a distinctive dry response and exceptional tonal complexity. It also works beautifully as a light crash-ride, offering an expressive voice that remains controlled even in busy musical arrangements.
