The Ultimate Crash Developed in collaboration with Dave Weckl, the 18 HHX Evolution Crash is a highly-responsive and sensitive cymbal that combines the bite and penetration of high-end attack with the warmth and agitation of dark undertones. Fully hammered, this thin crash delivers tonally warm, rich sound and a well-defined touch of high-end color to boost projection. In fact, its so responsive that according to SABIAN Master Product Specialist Mark Love, its easily activated with just a touch of a finger! But while the response is fast and shimmering, its the feel of the Evolution Crashes that so many drummers fall in love with. Described as smooth and buttery, this is a Crash with that rare ability of making you a better player the minute you add one to your set-up. An Evolution in Tone The 18 HHX Evolution Crash is exactly the essence of what Dave Weckl was looking for when he approached SABIAN. In fact, thats exactly what the entire HHX Evolution line is all about. These are cymbals that retain the low end while brightened the highs. And sensitivity is increased so that the lightest touch of a stick sets them off. Dave has a very acute sense of hearing and knows exactly what he wants from his cymbals, comments Vault Specialist Mark Love. 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 this is why our craftsmen were able to design Evolution to such exact standards. We are extremely pleased with the results and anticipate enormous interest in these cymbals. Sabian HHX Modern Dark Until HHX, dark cymbals simply did not cut. With HHX, SABIAN changed all of that. Using an innovative combination of high-profile shape, large raw bell and jumbo sized hammering, they ensured that the dark, tonally complex sound of HHX cuts in any situation. Essentially, they took the warm, dark, complex tone of HH cymbals and made it cut for modern musical settings. While other cymbals may generate darkness, HHX stirs up more simmering heat, more musical dirt, more of what drummers want to hear and projects it. It gets you heard. Its just another innovative design feature, created by the SABIAN Vault team. Who Plays HHX? Delivering simmering Modern Dark tone at all volumes, its little wonder HHX is played by top SABIAN artists like Tomas Haake (Meshuggah), Jojo Mayer (Nerve), Karl Brazil (Robbie Williams), Brian Frasier Moore (Madonna), Mark Guiliana (Mehliana), Dom Famularo, Chris Dave (Robert Glasper), Mike Portnoy (Winery Dogs), and many, many more. The magic of HHX is the darkness that allows me to go places I wasnt able to go before. These cymbals inspire me to play great because they always sound great, claims drummings global ambassador Dom Famularo. Tomas Haake, the powerhouse drummer for tonally dense Swedish extreme metal band Meshuggah, approaches it from a different angle, Other cymbals may be dark, but HHX is dynamiccymbals can disappear when youre playing outdoor stages to 60,000 people. But HHX cymbals always sound great, theyre always there. Another man with a deep experience of SABIAN sounds is Mike Portnoy. His monstrous set-ups with Dream Theater were to quote the man himself vast. HHX added a whole new level of diversity. It combines the best elements of AA, AAX and HH into one. I love the dark side of HHX. Its definitely something other cymbals just do not have. Hand-Crafted Every Step of the Way Like all SABIAN B20 Cast Cymbals, the HHX Evolution Crash begins its life in the Foundry, where a centuries-old family process is used to create the most musical and durable of all cymbal alloys. Inside the Foundry, SABIAN metallurgists combine carefully measured amounts of Copper, Tin and Silver, heat it to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit, and pour it into casts. At this stage, its hard
