Istanbul XIST Brilliant Ride Cymbals
The Istanbul XIST Brilliant Ride Cymbals are a perfect blend of modern sound and traditional craftsmanship, offering a highly polished, mirror-like finish that sets them apart visually and sonically. This Brilliant finish not only gives the cymbals a striking, high-gloss appearance but also enhances their tonal qualities, making them ideal for drummers who seek both style and substance.
With a clear, focused attack and a dark, warm sustain, these cymbals deliver a sound that is as captivating as their look. The Brilliant finish accentuates the brightness and clarity of the ride, providing a sharper, more articulate response that cuts through the mix with ease. Moderate overtones add depth and complexity, ensuring that every note resonates with rich, full-bodied character. Wanna hear them?
