{"product_id":"istanbul-agop-xist-power-ride-20-brilliant-223396","title":"XIST POWER RIDE 20\" BRIGHT","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eXIST\u003c\/strong\u003e series from Istanbul Agop follows the great tradition of Turkish B20 bronze cymbals, with a modern approach focused on stage use and efficiency. Within this range, the \u003cstrong\u003eXIST Power Ride\u003c\/strong\u003e is positioned as a \"performance\" ride: heavier, more direct, and more stable than a versatile ride, it is designed for drummers seeking a clear response, immediate definition, and natural authority in energetic bands.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWho This Cymbal Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ride is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e who play loudly, need precision with both sticks and brushes, and want a cymbal that remains clear without becoming washed out. It excels in \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efusion\u003c\/strong\u003e, modern metal, powerful pop, and more broadly in any live or studio situation where the ride must carry the tempo with solid articulation. If you are looking for a very \"crashable\" and light ride, this model will be more demanding, but if your priority is sustain and clarity, it is in its element.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 22-inch Brilliant XIST Power Ride combines a \u003cstrong\u003ebrilliant finish\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003epartially unlathed surface\u003c\/strong\u003e, an aesthetic and sonic choice that enhances definition and control. The \"power\" weight provides a rail-like feel under the stick: the cymbal responds firmly, maintains a consistent attack, and supports high dynamics without collapsing. The \u003cstrong\u003ewide bell\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed to deliver a clear and incisive signal, useful for highlighting transitions, choruses, and build-ups, while remaining musically usable over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from \u003cstrong\u003eB20 bronze\u003c\/strong\u003e, this ride benefits from an alloy renowned for its harmonic richness and musicality, even when pushed hard. On a \"power\" model, the B20 retains a pleasant complexity, but the design here prioritizes the essentials: \u003cstrong\u003eattack, projection, and clarity\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result is a cymbal that delivers a clear and authoritative ping, with a solid sonic foundation and excellent tempo holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebrilliant finish\u003c\/strong\u003e adds extra brightness in the high frequencies, helping the ride to \"cut through\" a busy mix (distorted guitars, synths, keyboards). The \u003cstrong\u003epartially unlathed area\u003c\/strong\u003e helps tighten the spectrum and contain the wash: you get a deep but controlled halo that does not blur the placement of strokes. Finally, the \u003cstrong\u003ewide bell\u003c\/strong\u003e produces a sharp and present sound, ideal for powerful accents and bell patterns that remain audible without strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eRide\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eXIST Power Ride\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eintense contexts, strong projection, powerful playing\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e22 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlloy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eB20 bronze\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eBrilliant\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSurface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003epartially unlathed\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003egenerous (\u0026quot;power\u0026quot; orientation)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBell\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ewide and incisive\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003edry, clear, and well-defined ping, deep but controlled wash\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBehavior at high volume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esonic stability and preserved articulation\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Istanbul Agop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358091399443,"sku":"223396","price":315.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/4b37a006a0ab4e4987b4be3e8765e8f3d5122dbe_ISTANBUL_2622054I12039_1625adf0-b9c1-4f1e-b6a6-9a699ab00267.jpg?v=1787332339","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/istanbul-agop-xist-power-ride-20-bright-223396","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
