Modern Dark
The hot simmer of HHX is a modern take on the vintage darkness found in traditional hand hammered cymbals. With its ‘Tone Projection’ design HHX is the ultimate dark cymbal for today’s music. What is Tone Projection? Many traditional dark cymbals generate tone but they don’t project it effectively enough to be heard through much of today's music. The innovative ‘Tone Projection’ design of HHX shoots the simmering darkness of these cymbals through any music.
Killer Crash The X-Treme Crash
With a wicked combination of high-speed response, tonal agitation, and a darkness that simmers with heat, the HHX X-Treme Crash is about as funky as a cymbal can get. Deep, dark, and dangerous, this cymbal is tonally hot beyond belief.
Killer Crash The Evolution O-Zone Crash
With an exclusive multi-hole design accelerating its response rate, darkening its tone, and boosting agitation in its sound, the HHX Evolution O-Zone delivers like a dark and dirty chinese/crash.
“As soon as I heard some great players getting wonderful sounds with HHX, I knew my Evolution and Legacy cymbals had to be part of this series. Nothing else comes close to delivering a dark, vintage sound in cymbals designed for todays' modern players.” DAVE WECKL The Dave Weckl Band “HHX with ‘Tone Projection’ and AAX with ‘Dynamic Focus’ are great examples of how SABIAN has taken traditional sounds and reinvented them in cymbals designed for today.” MIKE PORTNOY Dream Theater

Vintage Dark
HH is hand hammered. When the original world renowned cymbal making workshop in Turkey closed its doors for good, its master cymbal making artisans came to SABIAN. Today the legacy of their expertise and craftsmanship can be heard in the deep, dark, musical tone of HH, the hand hammered cymbal of choice with the world’s leading drummers.
Wicked Ride Raw Bell Dry Ride
Combining the sheer cutting power of a large raw bell with crisp, solid sticking across its bow, the Raw Bell Dry Ride delivers a wicked combination of power and definition in a cymbal ideal for any style.
What makes HH so special? Every hammering artisan has a different style and touch, so the power and placement of their strokes will vary, meaning any HH you play will give you your own unique tone.
“HH definitely gives me the sound, the pleasure, the feel.” Bernard Purdie Session Great: Steely Dan/ Aretha Franklin/Jeff Beck
“ The sound I have on the 18” is a sound...I don’t know... everybody wants to take it.” Jimmy Cobb Jazz Great: Miles Davis/ John Coltrane/Cannonball Adderly
Killer Crash Dark Crash
Exploding with a solid burst of tonally complex darkness, the Dark Crash puts out deep, vintage tone, for fast, punchy accents that add a rich sense of color in any music.

When we introduced the concept of innovative sound design with AAX, HHX, Vault and others, we evolved the Vintage sounds of our traditional AA and HH series into Modern sounds for today’s music.
