Their hammered and lathed surfaces, warm sounds and selection of models may be very traditional, but these cymbals are the ultimate choice when it comes to versatility. Rides with a buttery-soft feel. Crashes that range from dark and shimmering with thin models, to powerful and focused with heavier ones. Traditional tone and sonic individuality come together in each of these cymbals.

Bursting with tuneful, explosive attack, the SABIAN 19 HHX X-Plosion Crash deals out simmering, dark tones boosted by explosive tone. Also available in Modern Bright AAX models. Until HHX, it was impossible to project darkness. But the dark, simmering sound, agitated bite and Tone Projection design of HHX makes this series more effective than others. Other cymbals may generate darkness, but HHX stirs up more simmering heat, more musical dirt, more of what drummers want to hear – and projects it. It gets you heard. And felt. HHX Tone Projection is an innovative design, created by the SABIAN Vault team.

Quick and lively built up due to its extra thin edge. The steep bow is responsible for the rapid and mellow-dark sounding decay. A perfect addition to the Jazz Tradition line.

Dark, exotic, mellow sound for special effects.
