Sabian 18 Inch XSR Fast Crash Cymbal – XSR1807B

The XSR1807B delivers responsive, articulate attack with genuine versatility across musical contexts. This 18-inch crash combines the quick response of a thin profile with the projection and sustain of a medium weight, making it equally at home in rock, jazz, fusion, or contemporary styles. The bright, cutting tone cuts through a mix without sacrificing musicality or control.

Sonic Character & Construction

Built from B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin) with a brilliant finish, this cymbal delivers a bright sound with enhanced articulation. The hammered surface and re-shaped bell are engineered for superior sonic acceleration, giving the crash quick response and focused projection ideal for dynamic playing.

Design & Playability

The medium-thin weight classification balances ease of response with sufficient mass for cutting projection. This sizing strikes a practical middle ground—responsive enough for nuanced articulation, yet substantial enough to hold its own in full-volume settings without feeling thin or brittle.
