Drum Cymbal Sabian 16" HH Thin Crash

The HH (Hand Hammered) series is one of the first in the Sabian line, founded back in 1982. The cymbals in this line are forged from B20 bronze, which gives them a unique texture, rich overtones, and a warm vintage sound.

The Sabian 16" HH Thin Crash (Brilliant) is an exquisite thin crash cymbal that combines the warmth of a classic sound with instant response and expressive character. Its thin thickness provides a fast attack and short sustain, allowing the cymbal to sound open without overpowering the mix. It produces a low, warm, and dark tone that remains musical even with a light strike. The cymbal has a low profile, which contributes to quick responsiveness and smooth decay – ideal for accents, transitions, or gentle dynamic accompaniment. The Brilliant finish not only adds shine to the appearance, but also makes the attack a little clearer without losing the characteristic depth of the HH series. The cymbal is made of high-quality B20 bronze, consisting of approximately 80% copper and 20% tin. This alloy provides a rich, full, and dark tone with expressive overtones. Thanks to this alloy, the cymbal has a stable structure, is durable, and is ready for intense playing, maintaining its musicality and purity of sound even after prolonged use. The HH Thin Crash is the choice for musicians who appreciate an organic, dark tone that is versatile for jazz, blues, rock ballads, and chamber performances.
