"I dig this cymbal !"

Overall:

(see rating details)

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.

I just finished a lengthy opine on the DW 5 1/2 x 14 design series nickel/brass snare drum. So this will be brief but background info might be in that review. This cymbal really sounds a lot different than Paiste 900 pack I got at zZounds a year ago. It’s got a lot of character (I’m too new to articulate the lingo). Its a great contrast to the other cymbals.

Sound

Unique sound I was looking for.

Features

It’s shiny, my Paiste 900 are kinda matte. I dig both finishes. And I dig that they DON’t match. Adds variety.It sounds different on my set up so it really adds an extra vibe to my kit. Both visually and acoustically.

Ease of Use

Being a nice cymbal it is fairly easy to make sound into music.

Quality

Nice shiny and sounds make this very very nice for beginners like myself. But I don’t see, as per the product description, why any advanced or pro drummers wouldn’t dig this Sabian cymbal.

Value

This Sabian XSR 18” fast crash seems designed just right for frugal but quality minded folks.

The Wow Factor

This cymbal was what I want, needed and zZounds facilitated my kit, pedals, and now the Sabian XSR Fastcrash. Thanks Sabian and zZounds☁️☁️
