This Sabian HH 18" Thin China Cymbal - 11853 is a traditional hand hammered cymbal that creates the ultimate Vintage Dark tone. HH means "hand hammered", the most musical and tonally complex cymbals available.The sound is warmer, darker and packed with tone, allowing the cymbal to blend into the music producing a fuller, richer sound.
Until HHX, it was impossible to project darkness. But the dark, simmering sound, agitated bite and "Tone Projection" design of HHX makes this series more effective than others. Other cymbals may generate darkness, but HHX stirs up more simmering heat, more musical dirt, more of what drummers want to hear and projects it. It gets you heard and felt.
HHX "Tone Projection" is an innovative design, created by the SABIAN Vault team.
