Sabian XS20 Rock Performance Cymbal Set, What a product! Advantages: Reletively cheap, good sound Disadvantages: Not the best available ...way as the top notch sabian range) The hi-hats were especially impressive with a clean durable sound that works for many different styles from rock to jazz. The crash that comes with the pack is also fantastic, it cuts through the mix really well which was a very pleasant surprise and has a lovely sharp sound. The ride was the only let down for me, it lacked tone in the bell of the cymbal and I would stick to the AA in future. Overall in my opinion ...

Sabian AAX 16" Stage Crash... Im in love with this cymbal! Advantages: Superb sound Disadvantages: Some may think its expensive From the start I will make it very clear that I love this cymbal! As far as sound quality goes you will be hard pressed to find anything that comes close for the same price. The tone of this cymbal is superb! Ive used this with many bands of many different genres and not once has it sounded out of place. AAX cymbals in general are very loud which is always a bonus if you're playing a venue with less than great overhead drum mics, and this one is ... ...huge sound. My one gripe with this cymbal is that I've used have lasted longer but with some TLC you can get a few tours out of it. I couldnt speak higher of any cymbal in this range (minus the ride) and I would highly recommend it to all that happen to read this. You may look at it and think its a pricey cymbal but trust me... Once you've played it you'll feel like you've got a bargain. ...

The best cymbals in this price range Advantages: Durible, project well, made from very good bronze. Disadvantages: Not so good for big gigs. Sabian XS20 rock pack for the best cymbals in their price range I would say. I have this set and have gigged on them for about a year with carbon fibre sticks and they show few signs and wear other than the usual marks. No cracks or scrashes and I play fairly hard during gigs. the XS20 series are cast in the same way as many of the top of the line Sabian cymbals and also use Sabian's B20 bronze with they say is the most musical metal in the world. ... ...sound and projection are most styles of music. I mainly play up-beat rock and some funk and they suite both situations well. The crash cymbal actually crashes! Which might seem just what you'd expect but many cymbals at this price range sound very tinny and don't cut through pircing guitars, however this crash has a really nice tone to it at any volume. I've also found that if you play gentley near the middle of the cymbal you can get a nice stuble ... wez001 22.06.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Sabian XS20 Rock Performance Cymbal Set	Appearance Quality of sound Range of tones Playability Value for money
Great for beginners, solid cymbal Advantages: Durable, nice "ping", excellent value Disadvantages: "Ringing" feedback, not as good as more expensive models I bought this cymbal about two months ago. This was my first ride cymbal, but I have used other in the past. Upon opening the box, I found that this cymbal has a very nice colour to it. It has deep lathing rings, and evenly spaced indentations. This cymbal, although one of the cheaper from Sabian, has and excellent "ping" to it, and has a warm, balanced sound. However, the only drawback is from hitting the cymbal too hard. If you hit close to the ... ...the ringing from the cymbal can become slightly excessive. So far I have had no durability problems with the B8, as it seems to be a very heavy, solid cymbal. It also retains its colour very well, only needing a quick polish to revive the original colour. All in all I would recommend this cymbal for any first-time ride cymbal buyers, but not to those who are looking for a top-quality cymbal for band recording or performances. ...

They dont call them 'Alpha's for nothing! Advantages: Nice weight, Great Finish, Sound Amazing! Disadvantages: Slightly more pricier than other cymbals at the same level The New Paiste Alpha 'Pro' Range is something new, sweeping the Semi -Pro cymbal range completely under the carpet with a redefined look, sound and alloy. Constructed out of the traditional B8 Alloy, and hand hammered, the new Alpha Pro range certainly look great. Getting down to playing them, each cymbal blends with each other well, and most of the cymbals can be used amongst other cymbals if you rather swapping and mis matching your cymbals for ... ...the Flat Ride, the New Paiste Alpha Pro Range is a great choice for the drummer looking for more than those cracked Planet Z's, Meinl Headliner, ZBT's, Paiste 101 or Sabian B8s. Most of the cymbals have slightly light overtones, but nothing that mashing away with the band cant blend in with! All of the cymbals can be used in a variety of settings: Ive used them in Fusion, Metal and Rock Jazz and even an Orchestral Setting, and have had positive comments ...
