crispy Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Ok, for people who play drums, they know there are two types of cymbals the cheap sheet bronze pressed cymbals, using a cheaper metal mix, like Sabian B8's, and Zildjian ZBT's Well, somehow, Sabian has come up with a Cymbal called the XS20, they use the same metal mix as the TOP OF THE LINE cymbals, yet they are able to produce them for less using advanced manufacturing processes I checked them out, and they sound pretty good, and for the price are damn amazing I'm going to add at least one of these cymbals to my set Here is a link to few of the cymbals and the prices http://www.music123.com/Sabian-XS20-Medium-Thin-Crash-i93976.music http://www.music123.com/Sabian--XS20-Complete-Set-With-Case-i145343.music

Imhotep Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 The paragons are cool, great sound, I especially love the splashes. Too bad I dont really like incorporating 'Signature' cymbals into my setup or I might have a few. I need to check these out. I love sabian and thats all I use, but Im going through cymbals like gangbusters. Especially my chinas. If these are thick and will keep me from demolishing them I might have to consider this line, because cymbals are expensive!!
crispy Posted September 17, 2005 Author Posted September 17, 2005 I actually have a very nice setup right now, but for some reason, people get stuck on brand names, and Zildjian is what they want, so they buy ZBT, which are not even close to the xs20's I still use a B8 ride, it has a nice ping to it, I'll replace it when I find one that blows it away, probably a paiste, which I can't afford I use Sabian AA hats, and a 14" custom dark K zildjian, and a 16" custom dark K zildjian I want to add an xs to see if it would fit in my set, but so far have had ZERO luck incororating Sabian crashes into my setup

If not, it's too bad casue these are sweet as hell.
