A classic SABIAN design, the dark, unlathed, raw bell of the SABIAN 21 HHX Raw Bell Dry Ride delivers clear, cutting strokes, while the ride area puts out with crisp responses and just the right amount of spread. Designed to deliver at any volume, in any style of music. You could say it's versatile, but that word simply isn't good enough for a cymbal that lets you play and sound this great ... every time, all the time. 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.
