Drum Cymbal Sabian 18" HHX Fierce Crash

Sabian HHX cymbals are an evolution of the legendary HH series, created for those seeking a more modern, deep, and rich sound. Made from B20 bronze and subjected to a unique forging process, they combine the warmth of handcrafting with expressive tonal complexity. The HHX series has a dark character and is perfect for jazz or fusion, as well as contemporary genres ranging from progressive rock to electronic music.

The Sabian 18" HHX Fierce Crash, designed for Jojo Mayer, has an explosive and "dirty" sound reminiscent of Chinese cymbals. It responds instantly, delivering a powerful and raw response with an aggressive accent. The thin thickness provides a fast attack and a short, energetic sustain, making this cymbal versatile for live performances and studio recording. The B20 bronze alloy from which this cymbal is made is considered the benchmark in the professional world of percussion instruments. Its composition (80% copper and 20% tin) provides a deep, rich sound with a wide dynamic range and warm overtones. It is this material that gives Sabian HHX cymbals their characteristic dark tone, complex harmonic pattern, and excellent sensitivity to the slightest nuances of playing.
