Sabian 20" 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. As the biggest cymbal in the XSR Fast Crash run, the 20" delivers the most authority and lowest pitch of the line while still retaining a bright, cutting, articulate voice — a workhorse crash for players who want maximum presence and a longer wash without sacrificing definition at full volume.

Player Notes
As the biggest crash in the XSR Fast Crash range, this size trades some of the immediacy of the smaller 14"-17" versions for a fuller, more commanding wash and lower pitch — several players specifically name the 20" as a favorite alongside the 18", citing its versatility as both a crash and, in a pinch, a secondary ride-like voice thanks to the added stick definition at this size.
