The Sabian XSR Effeks Clap is a 3-piece cymbal stack designed to replicate the iconic 1980s digital clap sound in an acoustic setting. Crafted from raw B20 bronze, each cymbal in the stack is slightly curved and relaxed, allowing them to nest together seamlessly. This design produces a tight, dry attack with rapid decay, closely mimicking the sharp, gated clap effect characteristic of vintage drum machines. Sabian has engineered this stack to eliminate high-pitched metallic overtones, resulting in a clean and focused sound.Â
