Istanbul Agop Xist Dry Dark Hi-Hats 10"

Istanbul Agop Xist Dry Dark 10" Hi-Hat Cymbals

The Istanbul Agop Xist Dry Dark 10" Hi-Hats deliver a compact, fast and highly articulate sound with the dark, dry and complex character of the Xist Dry Dark Series. Their small 10" diameter gives them an immediate response and short decay, making them ideal as an alternative or auxiliary hi-hat within an expanded cymbal setup.

Played closed, these 10" hi-hats produce a tight, defined response with plenty of stick articulation. Opening the hats introduces a short, textured wash with the earthy and slightly trashy character associated with the Dry Dark range.

Their compact size makes them particularly useful for accent patterns, electronic-inspired grooves, auxiliary hi-hat setups and creative effects. They can be positioned alongside a conventional pair of hi-hats to add another distinct voice to your cymbal setup.

Part of Istanbul Agop's Xist Dry Dark Series, these 10" hi-hats combine traditional Turkish cymbal-making techniques with a contemporary, effects-focused sound and distinctive raw appearance.
