16-inch Crash/China Stack from the XSR Series
The Sabian XSR Monarch series is a favorite among drummers who love the earthy, traditional darkness of aged B20. The XSR Sizzler Stack pairs a 16-inch XSR Monarch Crash with a brilliant 16-inch XSR China to create a blast of hot air that slices through the busiest stage mix. This cymbal stack is cutting and aggressive, with a dry decay tightened down and a ribbony "sheet metal" response opened up. Even better, cymbals can be parted out and played solo around the kit for extra value.

What's Included
16-inch XSR Monarch O-Zone Crash
Like all Sabian XSR cymbals, the 16-inch Monarch O-Zone Crash is fueled by Sabian's centuries-old B20 bronze formulation. But unlike others in the series, XSR Monarch O-Zone Crash features a series of 2-inch perforations to impart a rawer, faster, more explosive bite to the aged B20's darkly musical attack. This gives the XSR Monarch O-Zone Crash broad applications: played softly, it adds subtle ornamentation with its dark and moody roar, but as it opens up, the XSR O-Zone transitions to an explosive fury characterized by a trashy, china-like penetrative power. This suits the XSR O-Zone Crash to a wide range of musical stylings, in addition to making it an integral part of the XSR Sizzler Stack.
16-inch XSR China
Striking sonics and visuals — that's what you get with the Sabian 16-inch XSR Monarch China. With this cymbal, Sabian leverages the latest in cymbal-making technology and draws on many of the same production methods used to make its high-end AAX X-Plosion and HHX Evolution cymbals. Drummers at Sweetwater are quick to recommend this value-packed, B20-fortified china — and as the bottom to the XSR Sizzler Stack, the Monarch China is all the sweeter.
