Over the course of the last two decades, Xilxo went through a transformation to finesse in Turkish cymbal sounds that are unparalleled elsewhere. The Dixieland boasts a distinctive character, setting it apart from others. The lathed stripes on the bells, in combination with the lathed underside, provide enhanced amplification. Their profile are shaped by extensive hand hammering, resulting in a distinct stick definition. The bell's complexity is evenly distributed and counterbalanced by the profile, resulting in a rich, dry yet high-pitched, and dark sound.

Reviews
"The Xilxo Dixieland ride provides a distinct, "woody" attack with clear and focused stick definition. It provides excellent time-keeping but also allows for subtle expression. The wash is dry and complex, and is evenly balanced against the stick sound, preventing it from overpowering the definition, and creates a controlled, atmospheric tone. The defining feature of the Dixieland is its bell. It is emphasized by two lathed stripes and has a lathed underside, which amplifies its sound. The bell is complex but well-balanced with the rest of the cymbal, providing a dark yet high-pitched sound. When crashed, the Dixieland ride offers a musical, trashy sound that can be used for accents and dynamic swells. This ride is a good fit for drummers exploring vintage tones, particularly in jazz, blues, and other acoustic genres." - Charles Knapp
