Sabian 16 Inch XSR Fast Crash Cymbal - XSR1607B

The XSR1607B combines the snappy attack of a thin crash with surprising projection and sustain. This 16-inch cymbal responds immediately to the stick while maintaining enough mass to cut through a full kit, making it equally at home in tight jazz combos or high-energy rock settings. The bright, articulate voice sits naturally in the upper-mid frequency range without excessive wash.

Tone & Response Characteristics

Built from B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin with traces of silver), this cymbal produces a crisp, penetrating crash with fast decay. The medium bell adds definition and punch to the attack, while the thin weight ensures rapid response—ideal for dynamic players who need precision control alongside volume.

Construction & Design

The brilliant finish enhances visual presence and contributes to the bright tonal character. Sabian's XSR series engineering delivers consistent performance across the line, and the 16-inch format provides versatility as either a primary crash or secondary voice in larger setups.
