The 22” Xist Dry Dark Ride has a warm, dark tone with really clear stick definition. It’s dry and controlled, so your patterns stay clean without too much wash. The bell cuts nicely without being too bright, and the overall sound has a smoky, musical feel. It’s expressive, balanced, and feels great under the stick. It’s also incredibly versatile across genres, from jazz to rock, and for such a rich, musical cymbal, the price is an absolute bargain too.
