Istanbul Agop Xist 19" Crash Cymbal

Istanbul Agop's Xist 19" Crash delivers the hallmark clarity and articulation the series is built on. This is a straight Xist Crash–not a variant or special finish–engineered for players seeking a responsive, papery attack with controlled sustain. At 19 inches, it sits in the sweet spot for gigging drummers and studio work, offering enough mass to project without becoming unwieldy on smaller kits.

The Xist Crash series emphasises bright, focused tone with rapid stick definition. Hand–hammered B20 bronze construction keeps the weight consistent across the cymbal's surface, while the traditional finish (unpolished areas combined with worked sections) helps control overtones and prevent unruly wash. The papery character means fast decay and minimal ring–ideal when precision matters more than sustain. Diameter sits at 19 inches; exact weight specs depend on individual casting, but expect a cymbal responsive enough for dynamic control yet durable enough for nightly live use.
