Sabian XS20 Rock Hi-Hat Cymbals
Add some roar to your rhythm when you keep these hi hat cymbals wide open, or keep it strong and bright when you close them.

I just play for fun, no band playing, but I do read music notes and am very serious about accuracy and control. I decided that I wanted something brighter in my HH's and I am not disappointed in these Sabians at all. If you want a primary set of hats that really like playing rock and will stand out well on a stage then the Xs20's are it. These are fun to play but I will be swapping out from time to time to play a little darker set just to mix it up...maybe a set of Meinl Byzance?
Sound
These Xs20's are definitely bright and broadcast. They fit my playing style perfectly, rock/hard rock/classic rock/hair band/new country. The Xs20's almost have to be restrained like a dog ready for the attack, the sound is so fast on the attack you have to act fast to keep them under control.
Features
Nothing applies here.
Ease of Use
The Xs20's are very easy to play and nothing has to be forced out of them.
Quality
Bright finish that is holding up new for only a month or so of playing. They are well balanced and respond great on my Pearl H900 stand. Not using any tilt on the lower cymbal.
Value
Worth every penny.
Manufacturer Support
Never had any contact with Sabian.
