The Istanbul Agop 15" Xist Hi-Hats offer a modern, versatile sound with a touch of classic Turkish warmth—perfect for drummers who need hi-hats that deliver clarity, power, and musicality across a wide range of genres. Part of the popular Xist Series, these hi-hats combine traditional hand-craftsmanship with contemporary manufacturing precision to create a balanced, reliable, and highly playable pair.
At 15 inches, the Xist Hi-Hats provide a slightly deeper, fuller voice than standard 14" models, delivering added body while maintaining quick articulation. Closed, they produce a crisp, defined “chick” with a smooth top-end and controlled low-mid presence. Open, they offer a warm, shimmering wash that never becomes overly bright or abrasive—ideal for rock, pop, funk, worship, fusion, and modern studio work.
The carefully matched top and bottom cymbals ensure a responsive feel under the stick, with enough weight difference to produce clear foot articulation and a dynamic range that adapts effortlessly to both subtle and aggressive playing styles. Whether you're laying down tight grooves or opening up for expressive passages, these hi-hats provide a balanced, musical tone that fits seamlessly into any setup.
Durable, dependable, and sonically versatile, the Istanbul Agop 15" Xist Hi-Hats are an excellent choice for players seeking professional quality at an accessible price point—perfect for drummers who need a modern workhorse with genuine Turkish character.
