Drum Cymbal Sabian 16" HHX Thin Crash

The HHX series is an evolution of the legendary Sabian HH line, created for those seeking a distinctive, deep, and modern sound. These cymbals are made from premium B20 bronze and combine classic hand-forging with Sabian's innovative acoustic technologies. Their character is distinguished by a dark, rich tone and complex harmonic structure, making the HHX a versatile series for a wide variety of genres, from jazz, fusion, and funk to rock and progressive metal.

The Sabian 16" HHX Thin Crash is a cymbal that features a fast attack, velvety tone, and natural warmth. The HHX Thin Crash is thinner, darker, and faster than the HHX Studio Crash it replaced. Thanks to its thinner profile and special forging, it produces a darker and deeper sound with a short but distinct sustain. Its small, unfinished dome provides a faster response and adds a whispering brightness to the sound without harshness. The cymbal responds well even to light strokes, making it equally suitable for delicate crashes in the studio and powerful accents in live performances. Its dark character and clear, ringing high register create a full, rich sound that cuts through the mix without overpowering it. The B20 alloy (80% copper and 20% tin) gives the cymbal a professional-level sound, deep harmonic structure, and stability in all playing conditions.
