Sabian 14" XSR Monarch Hats

Sabian 14" XSR Monarch Hats

The XSR Monarch Hats deliver crisp, dry, woody stick definition with exceptional control and articulation. Thin top paired with a medium-thin bottom creates a cymbal that responds dynamically to your playing dynamics while maintaining tight, focused articulation. These unlathed hats blend fat tone with the versatility needed across multiple playing styles and volumes.

Sound & Articulation

Built from B20 Bronze using trickle-down technology from Sabian's award-winning Evolution and X-Plosion lines, the Monarchs deliver inherent dryness and woody stick sound with remarkable clarity. The thin top and medium-thin bottom construction provides the control and blend you need without sacrificing volume or presence.

Construction & Design

Unlathed tops provide plenty of control while the cast alloy construction, machine hammering, and full lathing ensure consistent performance and durability. The small bell design contributes to the focused, articulate response characteristic of this series.
