Istanbul Agop is represented in the current JustDrums catalogue by XIST, Xist iON and 30th Anniversary cymbals. The listed range is relevant to crash, ride, hi-hat, splash and China cymbal choices. When comparing these products, check series, diameter, type, weight, finish, stick definition, wash and the musical role required. The range allows a kit to be shaped from focused timekeeping cymbals through to quick effects and more complex accents. This entry remains catalogue-led, so the individual product listing is the source for exact dimensions, configuration, compatibility and included equipment.
Category
Cymbals add accents, timekeeping, colour and dynamics to a drum setup. This category includes hi-hats, rides, crashes, splashes, Chinas and packs, each with different sizes, weights, profiles, alloys, hammering and finishes. Compare stick definition, wash, sustain, response, volume and how the cymbal will blend with the kit and musical style. A cymbal’s sound also depends on mounting and playing technique. Check the exact type and diameter, and remember that cymbal stands, bags and felts may need to be purchased separately.
Hi-hats use a pair of cymbals operated by a foot pedal for timekeeping, accents and changing degrees of openness. Compare diameter, top and bottom weights, profile, edge response, chick sound, stick definition and how quickly the cymbals open and close. Some listings are a matched pair, while others describe an individual top or bottom cymbal. Check the wording carefully and remember that a hi-hat stand, clutch, felts and accessories may not be included. The right pair should complement the drummer’s touch, volume and musical style.
