Sabian XSR 14" Fast Crash

The Sabian XSR 14" Fast Crash delivers immediate response with a bright, cutting character that cuts through dense mixes. Its extra-thin profile makes it exceptionally responsive to light touch while maintaining surprising projection, making it equally at home in studio sessions and live performances where articulation matters.

Tone & Response

This crash bridges the gap between thin and medium weights, combining the sensitivity of a thin cymbal with increased power and body. The result is a fast-speaking cymbal with excellent sustain that responds naturally across the dynamic range, from delicate accents to full crashes.

Design & Construction

Handcrafted from B20 Bronze with hammered detailing and re-shaped bell profile, the XSR series emphasizes enhanced response characteristics throughout the playing surface. The brilliant finish contributes to the cymbal's bright, cutting sound while the tapered construction supports fast decay and articulate definition.
