18" Sabian XSR Monarch Crash Cymbal

Product Description

The Sabian XSR Monarch 18" is a crash cymbal made from pure B20 bronze, built using trickle-down technology from the award-winning Evolution and X-Plosion series. It delivers a straight-ahead, focused sound with real vintage character, and it's designed to be crashed often, at a price that fits most cymbal budgets.

• Crafted from pure SABIAN B20 Bronze
• Straight-ahead, focused sound with vintage feel
• Fantastic crashability, thin and responsive
• Protected by SABIAN Two-Year Warranty

Smaller and lighter than its 22" cousin, the 18" XSR Monarch opens up a greater range of pitch within the Monarch family, giving you more crashable options in your setup. It's thin in construction, which gives it a straight-ahead sound without excess complexity, just a clear, focused attack that feels instantly vintage.

Part of the Big & Ugly collection

The Monarch belongs to Sabian's Big & Ugly, a collection of unique ride cymbals spanning several SABIAN cymbal series. What unites them is great complexity, versatility and a distinctive look, cymbals that are big, dark, loose and dynamic, but above all huge fun to play.

Who It's For

A good choice if you want an easy-to-play, vintage-sounding crash without paying flagship prices, works well as an addition to an existing set or as your first crash in a new setup.
