Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Projection is the name of the game for the XS20 crashes. The 16" Rock crash was surprisingly dark. Even in the cymbal’s decay, a litany of sad notes streamed by me. From a cymbalmaking point of view, this is quite a technical achievement. However, this dark, somewhat somber quality may not be the optimum fit within the context of a larger rock-oriented musical mix."
