Sabian XS20 Sound clip

Here's a sound clip of my Sabian XS20 medium thin crash 16".

0:00-0:30- crash riding on the XS20 crash
0:31-0:45- riding on the XS20 crash
0:45-1:00- riding the bell of the XS20 crash
1:00-1:19- riding on the Sabian Legacy ride, and crashing the XS20 crash
1:20-1:35- playing the hi-hats and crashing on the xs20
1:35-2:00- using the XS20 in a drum solo
2:00 onwards- just crashing on the XS20 in various grooves.

The drums used in this clip are Ludwig 1970s Hollywood drums, with a Ludwig 14x5 LM410 Super-sensitive snare.

is this brilliant finnish or traditional?

[thebazooka88]

@tisBenG traditional.

[willkerry]

cheers mate! Was thinking of getting a set of Xs20's with 14" hats, 16" thin crash, 18" thin crash and 20" ride. what do you think of them?

[thebazooka88]

It's pretty decent man! The XS20 set is a great value, and I'd recommend it. For it's affordable price they're some great stuff. :)

@ANeonGenesis He's right A, there is a difference but it's pretty marginal (apart from a handful of specific cymbals), you'll get a bigger variation in sound depending on sticks than the finish. On cymbals where there is a difference the brilliant finish have warmer, darker and deeper tones than that of traditional. It's because they're smoothing the grooves on it (in which the air vibrates to give you your sound) when they give it the brilliant finish that it does so.

@XxStrongDrums1996xX Sure thing buckaroo.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@ANeonGenesis Where do you get the impression that I'm arguing with you? I'm telling you what I know and you are taking it way too seriously. I will not carry this conversation further.

[ANeonGenesis]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX If ANYTHING...if we take physics into account....a brilliant cymbal would sound darker. And the resulting difference would be entirely negligible.

[ANeonGenesis]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX Oh yeah...because rubbing something vigorously will make it sound different. Maybe learn about the whole process before you try to argue. Just think...if I sand, buff, and/or polish something...I'm removing a thin layer of material...exposing what's underneath. And thinner cymbals have a lower pitch...and less sustain, which DOES NOT equal brightness. I've owned PLENTY of cymbals in brilliant and traditional finishes...and Paiste ones (which are coated), no difference man.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@ANeonGenesis I don't know about the whole process, but if you were to listen to a brilliant cymbal and a traditional cymbal together, the brilliant one is brighter. There's also a buffing process involved with brilliant cymbals (as far as I know) that gives them the extra shine and alos the extra brightness.

[ANeonGenesis]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX Incorrect. If anything, it would be a lower-pitched, darker sound compared to the traditional. Think about the process...they're removing a thin layer of metal...thinner cymbal = lower pitch, darker tone.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@ANeonGenesis There is actually. A brilliantly finished cymbal has a bit of a brighter and more cutting sound than a traditional cymbal.

[ANeonGenesis]

There is no difference in the sound of a traditional finish cymbal and a brilliant.
