Istanbul Agop 22" Xist Crash Brilliant

Forget the price for a second, the sound and feel is where the XIST brilliant and natural is at! Especially for the past 5 years or so, it seems every manufacturer is hell bent on who can make the darkest, driest and “vintage-like” cymbals. (I mean it’s starting to get a bit ridiculous) This trend also includes the brand that really put the dark vintage sound back on the market- AGOP. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a jazz drummer and love the dark breathy wash of Agop’s Special Edition, Signature and Traditional Dark lines but these days, I’m really attracted to a clean, bright sound with good articulation. I bought this 22” crash from Thomann of course, mainly to ride on and not as a crash. It’s been great in the venue that I play at 6 nights a week. The ride articulation doesn’t get lost in the band and against the din of the venue. Just so you know, this doesn’t mean that this cymbal is absent of the breathy wash that the “jazz” lines have. It still has a nice airy quality without the dark & trashy color that seems to be the trend now. I love this 22” brilliant Xist crash so much that I just ordered the 24” Xist brilliant ride today!

Direi prima di tutto bel piatto ... A me piace polto ... Devo dire che ha moltissima coda quindi da dosare con le dinamiche ... Campana ovviamente quasi assente essendo nato come crash ache se dalla misura notevole.... Sinceramente io l ho modificato come quelli forati sempre della stessa serie avendo in possesso il 18 e il 20 forati ... E devo dire che ho ottenuto la giusta scala... Ultima cosa il piatto comunque ha uno spessore e un peso veramente leggero rispetto ad es uno zildjian ma la lega ottima

Si comme moi vous n'avez pas forcément les moyens de vous payer du haut de gamme chaque année cette série de cymbale est pour vous! J'utilise 2 crash Xist et elle ce marie très bien ensemble, le son est convenable et explosif(18"/22") on verra combien de temps elles dureront niveau durée de vie.

C'est agréable d'avoir de bonne cymbale à ce prix, je souligne tout de même qu ça ne vaut non plus pas une cymbale a 500 euro haut de gamme, si vous êtes très regardant sur le son d'une cymbale vous ne devrez déjà même pas lire ce commentaire ;)

Du bon matos que je recommande.
