Istanbul Agop Xist Dry Dark Brillant Hi Hat Cymbals 17"

Professional Turkish Hi-Hat Cymbals with Dark, Modern Tone

Istanbul Agop's Xist Dry Dark Brillant 17" Hi-Hat Cymbals blend time-honored Turkish cymbal-making traditions with innovative modern manufacturing. These professional-grade cymbals deliver a distinctive dark, trashy character with pointed articulation and rapid decay—perfect for jazz, fusion, and contemporary drumming styles that demand clarity without overwhelming the mix.

Cymbal Specifications & Performance:

• Dark Tone Quality — Rich, dark overtones with pointed attack and flexible, wobbly response
• Fast Decay Profile — Quick sustain control ideal for tight ensemble playing and studio recording
• Percussive Character — Modern, synthetic-sounding attack that cuts through without dominating other instruments
• Flexible Pairing Options — Pair with optional 10" Dry Dark Splash for enhanced chick definition and faster decay
• Low-Volume Capability — Soft hi-hat pairing option maintains crisp stick articulation at reduced volume levels
• Multi-Functional Design — Top cymbal works as standalone splash; bottom serves as accent bell, drum mute, or practice surface
• Handcrafted Construction — Unlathed finish showcases authentic Turkish manufacturing heritage

Important: Unlathed cymbals naturally display surface characteristics typical of handcrafted production. Demonstration video is reference material only and may not represent the exact cymbal.
