The Xist ION splash is a seriously bright little cymbal – perfect for adding quick accents and splashes in modern pop, funk, and electronic music. It cuts through the mix really well, but it's not your go-to for a delicate, wash-y sound. A great option for drummers looking for a unique, affordable splash.
