SABIAN 15" HHX Legacy Hat Top

SABIAN 15" HHX Legacy Hi-Hat Cymbal Pair

The HHX Legacy delivers a crisp, articulate response with tight control and minimal sustain—ideal for drummers who demand clarity and definition in their hi-hat work. Developed in collaboration with Dave Weckl, this pair combines a responsive top cymbal with a solid bottom for punchy, controlled pedal feel. The intense hammering and medium-to-heavy weight distribution create a cymbal that cuts through live and studio settings without sacrificing musical sensitivity.

Sound & Response

The pairing of a 983g top with a 1187g bottom creates a focused, controlled sound with excellent stick definition and minimal wash. This weight configuration produces a snappy attack and quick decay, making these cymbals excellent for tight funk, fusion, and contemporary jazz contexts where articulation matters.

Construction & Materials

Hand-crafted from B20 bronze using intensive hammering techniques, the HHX Legacy cymbals are built lighter than traditional hat pairs while maintaining structural integrity and durability. The thinner weights combined with precision hammering create a responsive playing surface that rewards technique and dynamic control.
