Reviews
"The Xist Power includes the loudest and proudest cymbals in the Xist Series. These cymbals are ideal for rock and metal settings, as they pack a heavy punch when you play them. They’re incredibly bright, allowing them to slice through heavy mixes of instrumentation. Although they’re bright and cutting, they’re also fairly responsive to different levels of dynamics. This makes them surprisingly musical. The bells of each cymbal are very impressive. They’re loud and powerful, making them great for playing driving drum parts with. You can get a higher-pitched bell sound by playing the crash bell and then a lower sound from the ride bell. I wouldn’t recommend these to drummers who don’t play heavy music. They’ll be far too aggressive and intense for any other style." - Brett Clur
"Striking the rides with stick tips yields a loud, high-pitched ping, rapidly reinforced by a pleasing, robust underlying hum which steadily builds but retains its composure, never blooming to a peak - always a good attribute to find in a ride. To check out the longevity, one final strike provides with a lasting overtone which pulses and whirrs its multifaceted waves before eventually dissolving away. A 5B shoulder laid across the bell shows its decisive side, making it ideal for lifting a chorus, solo or the bridge of a song perhaps. Even with a hard clout on the bow or a sideways shoulder slice, it's impossible to make these rides "crash" - the upshot of this is that in complete control of every stroke. What's more, these rides are not genre dependent. It would be suitable for almost any type of music; rock, pop and jazz included. These are impressive cymbals that has whet appetite for more." - Dave Holmes
