Sabian XS20 12-inch splash

Descrizione

Over the last few decades, Sabian has come to be a major force in the cymbal making industry. The company - that was founded by Robert Zildjian in 1981 - belongs to the 'big four' manufacturers of cymbals, along with Zildjian Paiste and Meinl. All four companies create very high-quality cymbals, but Sabian stands out because it pours just as much effort into its budget-friendly cymbals as it does into its expensive, high-end series.

Sabian XS20 12-inch splash: high-quality B20 bronze

The XS20 series is quite special, as it is a budget-friendly series of cymbals that is made of the same high-quality alloy of B20 bronze as Sabian's high-end cymbals. By using a more automated production process, however, Sabian has been able to keep costs at a minimum, making these cymbals not only very high in quality, but also very affordable.

As it is an XS20 cymbal, this 12-inch splash has the series' familiar bright sound. It is extra-thin, which ensures it speaks very quickly and has a rapid decay, making it ideal for the quick, cutting accents that splashes are famous for. This 12-inch model has a surprisingly rich sound, and won't disappoint even those who are used to the higher-end models.
