Istanbul Agop Xist ION Cymbals

About

Istanbul Agop Xist ION Cymbals — Perforated, Raw, and Distinctively Different The Istanbul Agop Xist ION series is one of the most distinctive cymbal ranges in the Xist lineup. Featuring symmetrically placed geometric holes across the surface, ION cymbals produce a splashy, raw attack with a very quick decay — making them ideal for accents, hand drumming, stacking with other cymbals, and any situation where a short, cutting, trashy sound is needed. Into Music Store is one of the UK's leading authorised Istanbul Agop dealers, and our team of experienced drummers can help you find the right ION cymbal for your setup.
