Istanbul Agop XIST Dry Dark 22inch Crash

From a 9–year–old apprentice in Istanbul's only cymbal factory to a global legend spanning eight decades, Agop Tomurcuk's remarkable journey began in 1941 in the vibrant Samatya neighbourhood. Following his older brothers Oksant and Garbis into the ancient craft of cymbal–smithing, Agop's dedication to the art has created a lineage of cymbals that now resonate across stages and practice rooms worldwide.

Istanbul Agop cymbals honour this rich heritage while maintaining a distinctly contemporary edge, crafted to express genuine artistic intent. The 22" Xist Dry Dark Crash exemplifies this philosophy with its papery thin construction that produces an explosive, trashy attack followed by rapid decay. This cymbal offers light riding capabilities with a notably low pitch, making it perfect for drummers seeking that distinctive dry, dark character.
