  • As many of you may know, the newer HHX is Sabian's Top of the Line, and it shows. They’ve been redesigned and they are some of the finest and most versatile cymbals on the market. Period. 

  • And that’s why they cost over half-grand to get one  And who knows what you will wind up with!! Only the wind and the trees will know what it sounds like! 

  • But never chez hazelshould! That life sucks. So we don’t live it! Listen away!!! So that you can buy with confidence. 

  • Perfect in bag FLAGSHIP Sabian HHX THIN Ride in the harder to find 21” size.

  • This is a spectacular cymbal.  It makes a terrific Light Ride but it CRASHES spectacularly.  

  • Sabian describes this cymbal as:
    “The 21” HHX Thin Ride is thinner, darker and faster than the HHX Studio Ride it replaced.  The thinner weight in combination with the smaller bell, makes for a shimmering ride with excellent crash qualities.”
  • That is SEXY as HELL!

  • Weighing in at a lovely and wonderfully thin 2252 grams this 21” plays like a great Thin or Light  Ride or Ultra Warm Crash Ride. 

  • The RAW bell CUTS and is surprisingly solid - especially for a Thinner cymbal.  It cuts extremely well. As you migrate down to the plain of the cymbal, the tone opens up and overtones emerge and blend in. For a cymbal with a thin weight, this HHX  subtly complex-sounding--HOWEVER, the stick attack definitely remains ON TOP. 
  • Great definition on this particular 21” - especially when you consider how crashable it is.

  • Aaaaaand when you crash/accent this 21”, it unleashes a torrent of tones - very full and warm. 

  • LOW and Dark. Glowing. Fantastic broad spread - complex with subtle overtones swimming about, it’s overall fairly controlled. 

  • STUNNING Hand Hammering. The gorgeous traditional finish promotes the classic HHX warmth.

  • A BIG 21” that covers a lot of territories. If you want one cymbal to bring to a gig - this can be it! 

  • Responsive at lower volumes, and definitely strong enough to project in loud LIVE settings.

  • Immaculate in the bag.  And no where near $550 for a guess!
