Sabian launched a complete new line of cymbals, called the XSR series. The complete range of XSR cymbals is replacing the existing XS20 line. The XSR cymbals are crafted from pure Sabian B20 Bronze using trickle-down technology from the Evolution and X-Plosion cymbals. With that, the Canadian company managed to keep this new line at an affordable price level as well. Also, in 2015 Sabian remastered the whole HH series and included the Vanguard cymbals from the purchase of Crescent cymbals.

Sabian HH Vanguard In 2015 Sabian remastered the whole HH series and included the Vanguard cymbals from the purchase of Crescent cymbals. With smaller bells and pinpoint lathing a new cymbals series came to life at NAMM 2016.
The Vanguard cymbals are available in: 14", 16", 18", 20", 21" and 22". The Vanguard Hihat is raw at the bottom and comes only in 14".
Because of the versatality of the cymbals, Sabian didn't name any of them Ride, Crash or any other regular name for cymbals. The Vanguards can be used in any situation as you see musically fit.
