SABIAN 20" XSR Suspended

SABIAN 20" XSR Suspended Cymbal

The SABIAN 20" XSR Suspended delivers a bright, cutting attack with exceptional sustain and swell capability. This cymbal responds deliberately, allowing players to shape dynamics with precision rather than immediate decay. The re-shaped bell and enhanced profile create a focused voice that cuts through ensemble settings while maintaining musical complexity.

Tone & Sustain Character

Built from pure B20 bronze with full lathing, this cymbal produces a higher pitch than other B20 series suspendeds, paired with a slower response time that enables lengthy, dramatic swells. The hammered construction and bright attack characteristic make it equally effective for crisp articulation and sustained atmospheric tones.

Construction & Design

At 20 inches and approximately 1.85 lbs, this suspended cymbal balances responsiveness with substantial projection. The re-shaped bell and enhanced profile optimize both strike definition and resonant sustain across dynamic playing ranges.
