Sabian XSR 20" Rock Ride

Sabian XSR 20" Rock Ride

The Sabian XSR 20" Rock Ride delivers solid, highly defined stick response with exceptional clarity—a heavy cymbal engineered to cut through dense mix and command attention during aggressive playing. Built with trickle-down technology from Sabian's award-winning Evolution and X-Plosion lines, this ride bridges the gap between budget consciousness and professional-grade performance. The powerful bell generates the cutting presence needed for hard-hitting grooves without compromise.

Construction & Materials

Crafted from B20 bronze alloy (80% copper, 20% tin with traces of silver), the XSR 20" features pin-point lathing and hand-hammered construction with a brilliant finish. This proven alloy composition delivers the tonal characteristics and durability expected from Sabian's established cymbal families.

Sound & Response

The heavy weight concentrates more metal in the cymbal, yielding bright, cutting, and lively tonal character with powerful projection. The defined bell provides punchy articulation ideal for rock and contemporary styles where clarity and cut are non-negotiable.
