Critic Reviews

Sabian XS20 Cymbals Reviewed! - DRUM! Magazine

drummagazine.com

The Sabian XS20 10" splash cymbal delivers an explosive burst that rivals pricier models. Its papery highs and quick decay make it a standout option for both gigs and practice, providing excellent sound quality at a fraction of the cost of other professional splashes. However, while many XS20s shine, others in the line exhibit a one-dimensional sound lacking the complexity found in more expensive offerings. Overall, for drummers seeking affordability without sacrificing too much quality, the XS20 series, especially the 10" splash, is a worthy investment.

Sabian Xs20 Splash 10" review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Sabian XS20 10" Splash cymbal offers an affordable entry into the world of B20 alloy, and while it delivers a pleasing sound for the price, it ultimately lacks the depth and sustain found in higher-end models. The initial response is quick, but the overall tonal complexity is limited, leading to a rapid decay that may leave some drummers wanting more. For those upgrading from lower-tier cymbals, this splash could be a welcomed upgrade, but it might not satisfy advanced players looking for richness and character. Overall, it’s a decent choice for the budget-conscious, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark in terms of professional performance.
