Sabian 16 HHX Evolution Crash Cymbal

With a warm, explosive response that is fast and shimmering, the SABIAN 16" HHX Evolution Crash is a top-selling Core model known as the Killer Crash. Before HHX, projecting darkness was impossible. However, the dark, simmering sound, agitated bite, and innovative "Tone Projection" design of HHX sets it apart from other cymbals. While other cymbals may produce darkness, HHX creates more simmering heat and musical dirt that drummers crave – and effectively projects it. This cymbal ensures that you'll be both heard and felt.

The unique "Tone Projection" design, developed by the SABIAN Vault team, shoots simmering hot, dark tones through all music styles and volumes, making the HHX cymbal the epitome of Modern Dark sound. The 16-inch HHX Evolution crash cymbal offers an explosive response that is both warm and fast, enhancing cut and projection.

Described by some as a game-changer, HHX Tone Projection sends waves of hot, simmering darkness through the music, ensuring your tone is heard and felt across distances. According to Tomas Haake, "Other cymbals may be dark, but HHX cuts through... and when performing with a loud band or for a large audience, HHX Tone Projection is essential for getting your sound heard."

Dom Famularo also praises the HHX cymbals for their ability to inspire and elevate his playing, noting that they always sound great no matter where he performs. Each cymbal has its strengths and limitations, and it's crucial to choose the right size and weight for the desired volume, power, and durability. For high-volume, hard-hitting playing, consider larger and heavier models like the AA, AAX, PRO, and Sonix series, which offer brighter sounds that cut through loud bands effectively. Additionally, the Hand Hammered and HHX series provide lower-pitched options suitable for various music styles.

The SABIAN 16" HHX Evolution Crash cymbal continues to be a popular choice for drummers seeking a dynamic and cutting-edge sound that stands out on stage. Its innovative design and unique Tone Projection feature make it an essential part of any drummer's kit.
