Comments about Sabian XS20 Medium Thin Crash Cymbal, Brilliant:
This is a great crash to own. From light jazz to heavy-metal, this is a super-responsive B20 Crash at a great price!!! I've owned the 16'' crash for awhile, and it sounds just as good as the day I bought it!!!
Comments about Sabian XS20 Medium Thin Crash Cymbal, Brilliant:
This is my favorite cymbal I have. It's got a great sound, looks good and just is awsome.
As for durability I'm not 100% sure. It seems durable, but I guess I'll have too see. It's held up fine so far and I'm a semi hard hitter.
I really like this crash. I got the 18 and at first it had this annoying ring but it died away as I used it. It's pretty dark too and is all around a great cymbal. .

Comments about Sabian XS20 Medium Thin Crash Cymbal, Brilliant:
Best cymbal i have purchased. I would definitley recommend this to anyone looking for a cheaply priced nice sounding cymbal. Best in its class.
Very nice looking. It has a very "bright" but nice sound to it.
I have only have had it for a short while but it has held up well.
Very satisfied with the price. I couldn't find any other cymbal that sound, and looked so nice.

Comments about Sabian XS20 Medium Thin Crash Cymbal, Brilliant:
This is a very good crash. I have both the 16" and 18". I also have a Sabian AA 16" Medium-Thin Crash. I recently compared the AA and the XS20 side by side, and they sounded almost the same. I usally use only two crashes. So I use my AA 16"Crash with the XS20 18" Medium-Thin Crash, and they sound very good together. I use the XS20 16" Medium-Thin Crash with my trusty Sabian AA El Sabor 18"; they sound good together too. These crashes are a great value.
Comments about Sabian XS20 Medium Thin Crash Cymbal, Brilliant:
I would easily reccomend this cymbal to any player on somewhat of a budget, or anyone just not willing to spend a lot on a high end cymbal. The Xs20 may not be the best out there, but it is plenty good enough for any player. I would say the Xs20 is a Mercedes and a Zildjian Ks is a Ferrari. Not the greatest, but by no means a poor mans product. I have recorded with this cymbal, so believe me when I say it sounds very good in the studio, and I'm sure it is just as good live.
This cymbal sounds very good, especially considering its price mark. The brilliant finish is definitely better than the normal finish. DOn't listen to people who call these "low end" cymbals. They are made out of the same material as higher end cymbals, just without the intensive hand-lathing. Expect a great sounding cymbal with a little less compleity than the most expensive lines. These cymbals are definitely gig-worthy, and most certainly studio-worthy (I have recorded with one of these before, so take my word for it).
Very sturdy build. Medium-thin cymbals are very durable, though some believe they aren't (this is a myth). I have had this cymbal for almost a year and it shows no signs of wear. From what others have said, I wouldn't expect chipping or keyholing.
What you get here is a good cymbal for half the price of the best lines. Sure, it will lack some of the complexity of Zildjian Ks, for example, but since it is made of B20 alloy, you get just as clear of a sound. That's what I would describe this cymbal as: "clear." It has a very focused tone, with no trashiness or wash, which is good or bad, depending upon what you like.
Comments about Sabian XS20 Medium Thin Crash Cymbal, Brilliant:
I've only been playing drums for about four years, but these cymbals have lasted me without cracks or scratches or anything! They are very durable, VERY versatile, and are good if you don't know exactly what kind of cymbal sound you are looking for. Excellent product!
Comments about Sabian XS20 Medium Thin Crash Cymbal, Brilliant:
This cymbal on a professional level is amazing. for the price it is even more great. I compared this to A custom and it was great.
