SABIAN HHX Evolution Crash Pack

SABIAN HHX Evolution Crash Pack

The HHX Evolution Crash Pack delivers a buttery soft feel with a glassy attack that cuts through a mix with immediate articulation. Developed with Dave Weckl, these extra-thin cymbals combine dark, warm tonality with fast response and medium-long sustain. The 17″ and 19″ pairing creates a versatile crash setup that sits naturally in modern productions while maintaining classic character.

Sound & Tone

Built from extra-thin B20 bronze, these cymbals produce a dark, full-bodied sound with warm character and fast articulation that records with clarity and definition. The medium-long sustain gives each strike presence without excessive wash, staying controlled on recordings and mixing cleanly with kick and bass without muddying the low end.

Design & Build

The thin profile construction combined with brilliant finish creates the signature fast attack and soft feel that translates to tape and digital equally well. Both cymbals are sonically paired, ensuring consistent response and tonal balance across the pack for cohesive crash layering in overdub sessions or live tracking.
