Istanbul Agop's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "The 20" Xist ride ($398) featured a blend of qualities that made it fun to play. The bell had a very consistent sound, regardless of where or how I hit it. When I rode on the bow, the stick produced a bright, clear "ping." with an interesting wash reverberating underneath. I enjoyed pushing the cymbal with the shoulder of the stick, which gave a nice boost of volume when I needed it. Again, I liked using the ride as a crash. I don't normally feel this way about most "pingy" rides, which are usually a little too thick to work as a crash. This cymbal, however, had a pleasant balance of ride and crash characteristics."
