Istanbul Agop Xist Dry Dark Brilliant Hi Hats 17"

Istanbul Agop Xist Dry Dark Brilliant 17" Hi-Hat Cymbals

The Istanbul Agop Xist Dry Dark Brilliant 17" Hi-Hats deliver a huge, dark and expressive hi-hat sound with the complex, controlled character of the Xist Dry Dark Series. Their oversized 17" diameter creates a broad, low-pitched voice with plenty of body, making them an exciting choice for drummers looking for something very different from conventional hi-hats.

Played closed, these hi-hats produce a substantial stick sound with plenty of definition and a dark, earthy character. Opening them up introduces a wide, textured wash, while the naturally dry response helps keep the sound controlled and musical.

The 17" diameter gives these hi-hats a softer, more relaxed feel than smaller models, with a deep and powerful response that works particularly well for big grooves and expressive playing. Their size also makes them an excellent choice for drummers who prefer the feel and sound of oversized cymbals throughout their setup.

Finished in a striking brilliant finish, the Xist Dry Dark Brilliant 17" Hi-Hats combine an eye-catching appearance with the distinctive hammered character associated with Istanbul Agop's Dry Dark range.
