Developed over 10 years of experimentation, XS20 is cited by the award-winning cymbal company as a major breakthrough in the production and pricing of quality B20 bronze cymbals and will introduce an influential new dynamic into the important budget-priced cymbal market.Designed for today's market"XS20," commented SABIAN president Dan Barker, "is all about great value. It's performance without the price. Designed for today's market, it has all the qualities associated with SABIAN B20 bronze cymbals and offers a great opportunity for dealers and consumers to get in on a high-quality product, the likes of which has never before been seen at this price. In fact it may be considered as too good for its price. But while price is a key point in the appeal of XS20, I do stress that the value of this cymbal is a combination of price and quality. XS20 is excellent in terms of sound and looks, but the fact that it is made from our premium B20 bronze, manufactured to high SABIAN standards, and backed by Sabian's One-Year Warranty confirms that value, regardless of price. We've utilized innovative proprietary technology to keep XS20 prices down without sacrificing quality. As a result we feel XS20 is a very attractive option for budget-conscious players seeking high-quality, professional-style cymbals at surprisingly low prices."Intelligent buyAvailable exclusively in Natural Finish, XS20 is line-lathed top and bottom, for sounds that are pitched on the bright side of mid, relatively open and free.

History is repeating itself with the relaunch of Genista Series. Through the '90s, Genista was the first choice for aspiring and professional drummers alike. Reintroduced in 2010, the Genista Series remains classic and distinctive in its sound and design but with more options available than ever before. Genista shells are available in the classic 100% American birch and now 100% American maple. The shells are 5.6mm 7-ply thick and like all professional Premier drums, the toms and floor toms are 3mm undersized for easier, more-positive tuning and clearer sound quality. The shell finish is impeccable with a choice of stunning sparkle lacquers, high gloss lacquers or classic wraps and all internally lacquered. What makes the Genista truly iconic is the distinctive lug design, finished in Diamond Chrome and perfectly complimented by the legendary 'P' badge. American maple shells are fitted with a new die-cast ISO mount in Diamond Chrome whilst the American birch feature the more traditional mounting upon the shell to enhance the quality of the birch shell.
