Sabian 17" HHX Legacy Crash

The 17" HHX Legacy Crash responds immediately to touch while maintaining musicality across all dynamic ranges. This cymbal delivers a dark, simmering tone with an agitated bite that projects clearly without sacrificing character. The responsive nature of this crash makes it equally effective for controlled articulation and powerful accents.

Tone & Projection

Built around Sabian's proprietary HHX "Tone Projection" design, this crash stirs up simmering heat and musical dirt that cuts through a mix. The dark, complex voice remains musical even at high volumes, giving you presence and punch without harsh clang or wash. This is a modern dark cymbal engineered to be heard and felt in any playing situation.

Cast from B20 bronze, this cymbal features large oval hammer marks on both top and bottom surfaces with layered smaller hammerings across the top, creating the resonant foundation for its signature tone.
