Sabian xs20 16" med. crash

[ty7177]

I purchased an xs20 a while back and i can not tell you how much i love it.
it has the perfect blend in tones, and cant say if it cuts through at a gig or not though as i have not been in a gig. I purchased it at Guitar Center for about
$130. well spent money.

I have the 18" version, and love it too. I got it used at GC for $39.99.

USED FOR ONLY 39.99!!!! Thats a steal!

Actually, its pretty average for something like that on GC used. It's a really good price, and some go for more than that, but I see them pop up from time to time for that price.
Nice buy, and glad you found a sound you like!

Yeah I bought my XS20 pack a while ago. Love them so much. The hi hats are quite nice as well. Very crisp and loud. Gotta love the price for them to. I payed $350 for all 3 cymbals.

Lucius-Borich-JR: Do you have the regular/medium Hats or the Rock Hats?

[Lucius-Borich-JR]

Medium hats.

I mentioned in an earlier thread I bought a XS20 rock crash at a local pawn for 29.00. It's either a 18 or 20. I love the sound. They had a pair of highhats ( XS20 ) but wanted like 59.00 for those, so with that price and the sound wasn't quite right I passed on the hats. I have heard the AAX studios and am waiting for them. Anyway, I was interested in Trilogy72 remark about whether Lucius had the rock hats or the mediums.
Seems like even though I did not like the sound ( not much of a chick,chick ) I may have passed up on a good price. IF they were rock hats.....would they have been the better of the two choices ?
The XS20 is certainly worth it's weight in brass......but the used price is hard to beat. My mom always said that if they had a sale on manhole covers I would buy some ...even if I didn't need them...just because the price was right ! Now I just do that with snare drums. I hardly ever buy " NEW " anymore...for more reasons than I have room to type.

They really are good cymbals, too bad there's almost no good audio samples on youtube of how they come through. So much different in person- a rather bright cymbal but has a little midrange to balance it out too. Congrats on the new pick up!

Whaaaat? That's like a hundred bucks off retail! Total steal- great price for a great cymbal imo!

I tried one and really like them for the price. I do a lot of shopping before I purchase and have found these fairly inexpensive.
