Sabian 17" HHX X-Treme Crash

This 17" HHX X-Treme Crash delivers a simmering, dark tone with aggressive bite and rapid decay that cuts through at any volume. The HHX "Tone Projection" design generates deep, musical dirt and projected darkness—characteristics that distinguish this crash from standard dark cymbals. Built for drummers who demand presence and articulation in high-volume settings.

Tone & Projection

The HHX X-Treme produces a modern dark sound characterized by simmering heat and agitated bite across all dynamic ranges. Its specialized design stirs musical grit while maintaining rapid decay, making it effective for cutting through dense mixes without sacrificing tonal depth.

Construction & Materials

Crafted from B20 bronze using both hand hammering and hand-guided machine hammering techniques, this cymbal features a large, raw bell that contributes to its projection capabilities.
