Key Features
The Istanbul Agop Xist Brilliant Cymbal Set includes a 14'' Xist Hi-Hat, a 16'' Xist Crash, and a 20'' Xist Ride. Each cymbal is carefully constructed in Turkey from B20 bronze to provide a versatile and focused sound with exceptional durability. These cymbals feature a medium weight to offer a balanced tone with great projection and medium sustain.
Through a combination of modern and traditional manufacturing techniques, Xist Agop cymbals produce a hybrid sound that is characteristically warm and full-bodied. The moderate overtones make them suitable for both recording and live situations. Istanbul Agop cymbals are renowned for being manually shaped by hammer-wielding smiths who painstakingly craft each cymbal to perfection. The cymbals have a consistent performance that can be relied on by students and professionals alike.

Unlike many other cymbal producers Istanbul Agop have taken a unique approach to construct their range of incredible cymbals by using an innovative preform casting mould which allows only 2500 strategic hammer blows to complete as opposed to the traditional 4500. This impressive technique produces remarkable results allowing high-performance cymbals to be made at a lower cost whilst still providing incredible sound quality and performance.
