Sabian 16" HHX X-Treme Crash

Sabian 16" HHX X-Treme Crash

This crash delivers a simmering, dark tone with aggressive bite and rapid decay — a cymbal designed to cut through at all volumes while maintaining musical character. The HHX X-Treme uses Sabian's proprietary Tone Projection design to project darkness and texture that sits distinctly in the mix. Built for drummers pursuing modern, dark aesthetics without sacrificing articulation.

Tone & Projection

The dark tonality pairs a trashy attack with medium sustain, creating definition across dynamic ranges. Sabian's Tone Projection technology ensures this cymbal carries audible character whether struck soft or hard, projecting the simmering heat and musical dirt that defines the HHX series.

Construction & Durability

Hand-crafted from B20 bronze, this cymbal balances traditional alloy responsiveness with the dark characteristics Sabian engineered into the X-Treme line. The thin weight classification at approximately 946g enables faster response and articulation while maintaining projection through consistent thickness control.
