Description
Sabian 16" XSR Fast Crash Cymbal
Made from pure B20 bronze using technology developed for Sabian's Evolution and X-Plosion lines, the XSR Series delivers premium tone and playability at a smart price point. The 16" is where the XSR Fast Crash line opens up into a fuller, more versatile crash — brighter and sharper than many players expect at this size, with an enhanced profile and re-shaped bell that Sabian carried down from its higher-end Evolution and X-Plosion designs for extra sonic acceleration.
Key Benefits
