Product Detail

Sabian HHX Evolution Series Crash Cymbal
Sabian 11606XEB HHX 16 inch Evolution Ride

Hand crafted from SABIAN's premium B20 bronze
HHX Evolution is hand crafted from SABIAN's premium B20 bronze, the most durable and musical metal used in cymbal making. They are protected by a special SABIAN two-year warranty.

Expanding the award-winning HHX
SABIAN Ltd. is pleased to introduce HHX Evolution, a range of drumset cymbals inspired by and collaborated on with SABIAN endorser Dave Weckl. Featuring the jumbo hammering; lathed surface; and raw, unlathed bell that contribute so greatly to the HHX concept of 'Tone Projection' - a combination of traditional tone and modern projection - Evolution models were created around Weckl's desire for his cymbal playing to 'follow the path of least resistance'. These Evolution models, with their glossy Brilliant Finish, respond to the slightest touch, making them extremely easy to play. An innovative 'Total Response' feature has been designed into HHX Evolution to boost its sensitivity and eliminate the need for players to 'dig' the sound out of the cymbal.

What Dave was looking for
Commented Weckl "HHX is the essence of what I was looking for. It has that warm tone I like so much, but it also has brightness in its high end. For me it's very important to have the right mix - a balance of both. And that's what Evolution is all about. It retains the low end, we've brightened the highs, and we've increased the sensitivity so that the lightest touch of a stick sets it off. But it's not just a matter of being responsive, Evolution puts out its total sound at all times; even at very low levels. That's what I was looking for: cymbals that offered the path of least resistance, so I could focus on what I wanted to play, not how I was going to have to play it.

"dark and punchy" by Al in Buffalo
12/13/2003 3:47:00 PM

Musical Experience: veteran drummer

Slightly darker sounding than the K Zildjian dark crashes, with a hint of "Chinese" thrown in.(could be the unpolished, raw bell) A great companion for Paiste Signature and the Zildjian brighter, higher pitched crashes. I love this thing.

"The ultimate cymbal!!!" by DreamTheater fan

I bought this cymbal not long ago to add on to my set. I was taken by surprise by the wonderful response of this cymbal. The overall appearance of the cymbal is magnificently crafted. It has awesome dynamics for any type of music you were to play. I think this set of cymbals is one of Sabians best.

"pretty much perfect" by withdrummer1
8/5/2005 9:01:57 PM

Musical Experience: hobbyist
Style of Music: metal and alternative rock
Hometown: Enumclaw, WA USA

This is the perfect cymbal. It fits beautifully with both my harder rock/metal band and my alternative rock band. I went to the store looking for a crash cymbal that would sound good to ride on, and also another crash to go along with my 17" AAX stage crash and an old Zildjian. The 18" HHX Evolution crash fit both those needs. It makes a great crash, and when I ride on it, it doesn't get too loud or over powering. I play pretty hard, and although its a thin cymbal, its held up since Christmas without the smallest sign of cracking. if you have the money for it, and you want a great cymbal, pick one of these up.

"awesome" by J-Rag

Hometown: danville, C.A.

I purchased this cymbal not too long ago and I was simply blown away. I'm in love with it. It's perfect. It's very responsive and it has a slightly high pitch sound that is very nice. It's a "ten" in my charts.
