The Sabian HHX 13 Fierce Hi-Hat Cymbals Natural Finish are designed in collaboration with Jojo Mayer and produce a high-quality sound with excellent style and musicality. The HHX 13 Fierce Hi-Hat is dark and tonally complex with the ability to cut through and mix within a range of styles. The HHX Fierce Hi-Hats feature a medium-thin top cymbal and a medium-heavy bottom cymbal. The medium-thin top cymbal provides clean tones and clear stick definition whilst the medium-heavy bottom cymbal provides stability and play-ability of the hi-hat.The combination of the two weighted cymbals produce tight dark semi-dry sounds with a clear projection allowing you to stand out in the mix and play across the whole dynamic range. Versatile and musical in its very make-up the 13 Fierce Hi-Hat sounds great on a variety of styles including Jazz Funk Groove and Fusion with the benefit of Jojo Mayer approval. Unleash the darkness with the HHX Series Sabian opened a new world of sound possibilities with the HHX series. From dark musically rich tones to cutting and bright sounds the HHX makes it easy to achieve your perfect sound no matter what style of music you play. A combination of hand-guided machine hammering and hand-hammering is used to shape and for each cymbal adding musicality complexity and brightness. Each individual cymbal is hand-tested and hand-weighed in the Vault by Sabian sound specialists which is a vital process for shaping the sound and weight for the cymbals. The HHX cymbals are placed on a shelf to age after the construction process which allows the active molecules to slow down and stabilize maximising sound quality and play-ability. All HHX series cymbals are complete with HHX Tone Projection. This innovative concept combines jumbo tone projector hammering and other design elements resulting in hot simmering sounds that can project through. Designed with a legend Dave {Weckl} has a very acute sense of hearing and knows exactly what he wants from his cymbals. In addition to high-response sensitivity he requested a specific degree of separation between the brighter high-end tones and the warmer low end for a sound that was both warm and cool. He was very specific and therefore our craftsmen were able to design Evolution to such high standards. We are extremely pleased with the results. – Sabian Master Product Specialist – Mark Love Bronze construction The HHX Cymbal series features B20 bronze construction.
