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 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 bright tone. Each individual cymbal is hand-tested and hand-weighed in the Vault by 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 playability. 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. The perforated design of the O-Zone is something we had developed in The Vault. Dave Weckl was intrigued by its possibilities and he wanted something different yet compatible. Because the Evolution O-Zone Crash is so unique it has something to offer in virtually any music setting. We see all kinds of Sabian artists adding these to their set-ups and these are guys playing everything from jazz to hard rock. – Sabian Master Product Specialist – Mark Love Bronze construction The HHX Cymbal series features B20 bronze construction.
