Sabian's Description: <<< - >>>
Review: "Here we must single out the 22" XS20 Monarch as the exception to the collection. XS20 is Sabian's budget B20 range and as such not quite as refined as the top ranges. And that is true of the Monarch.

It has a perfectly usable ride sound, but different from the others here, with that faintly metallic zing which some cheaper cymbals have. At half the price of the HH's it seems you get what you pay for. Terrific stick response again though."
