The Xist Dark ION is a fantastic crash if you’re after a dry, cutting sound – think modern rock, hip-hop, or anything that needs a quick, articulate crash. It’s surprisingly responsive for a darker cymbal, and the thin weight makes it easy to play. Not for everyone, but a real winner for the right application.
