Istanbul Agop - XIST series

With the XIST series, Istanbul Agop has managed to produce professional-sounding cymbals at a friendly price. Traditional techniques are combined with modern methods. By 'modern', we mainly mean the special 'pin lathing' on both sides of the cymbals. This ensures that the cymbals sound clear. In addition, the hammering technique has also been modernised. It is a kind of hybrid hammering technique where hammering is not done by hand but by a machine. In the traditional way, a cymbal receives an average of about 4,500 hammer blows - the XIST cymbals need only about 1,500 blows. The position and force of the hammering is still entirely controlled by hand by the cymbal maker, giving each cymbal a unique sound. Most cymbals in the XIST series are available in two finishes: traditional or brilliant.
