Product information

General

Along with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl, Sabian is considered as one of the 'big four' cymbal manufacturers, and rightly so! The company was founded in 1981 by Robert Zildjian, who left his family's company after his older brother Armand took the reins there. Armed with years of experience and great knowledge of the trade, he founded his own cymbal manufacturing company named Sabian - a name that derives from the names of his three children, Sally, Bill and Andy (SaBiAn).

Sabian HHX series

The HHX series of cymbals is the modern counterpart to the vintage-sounding HH series, that was designed to add some aggression and attack to the dark, moody sound of hand-hammered cymbals. It is a line of high-end, 'Modern Dark' cymbals, cast from Sabian's special B20 bronze alloy (which contains 20% tin and traces of silver). These cymbals are hand-hammered by the master artisans at Sabian and tend to have a dark, yet powerful sound and a mid to low pitch. While retaining the personal qualities of hand-hammered cymbals, the HHX series also features Sabian's 'Tone Projection' design that enhances tone and projection.

Sabian HHX 18-inch X-Plosion Crash cymbal

Sabian's X-Plosion crashes deliver exactly what their name promises: explosive power. These medium-thin cymbals speak very quickly and supply your accents with the oft-needed aggression, while being supported by a hint of warm undertones. The dark, shimmering tone of this relatively large, 18-inch crash will linger just a bit longer and sound a bit deeper, making its musicality ever-so-slightly more evident than it is on smaller models. Thanks to the HHX 'Tone Projection' hammering this cymbal will cut through any music with ease, and the solid, unlathed but heavily hammered bell gives it plenty of volume without ever becoming overpowering. These features make the HHX X-Plosion crash well-suited for a wide range of musical styles.
