Sabian 22" HHX Legacy Heavy Ride

Sabian 22" HHX Legacy Heavy Ride

The 22" HHX Legacy Heavy Ride delivers semi-dry, crisp stick articulation that dances over a cushion of warm tone, making it immediately responsive under the stick while maintaining projection at all volumes. This is a heavy ride built for drummers who need darkness with presence—the HHX Tone Projection design stirs up simmering heat and musical dirt that cuts through a mix without sacrificing tonal warmth. The cymbal's character lies in its ability to sound modern and dark while remaining articulate and defined.

Tone & Projection

The HHX Legacy series employs Tone Projection, an innovative design that generates a simmering Modern Dark tone at all volumes. Unlike conventional dark cymbals, this ride projects its darker character effectively, delivering both musical definition and the warmth needed for ride work across dynamic playing situations.

Construction & Materials

Hand-hammered and finely lathed, this cymbal is crafted from B20 Bronze Alloy—a time-tested composition of 80% copper and 20% tin—that contributes to the ride's warm resonance and responsive stick feel. The 3002g median weight (range: 2905g–3049g) positions this as a truly heavy ride, ensuring authority and cut in louder settings.
