Sabian HHX 21-inch Raw Bell Dry Ride cymbal

General Along with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl, Sabian is considered as one of the 'big four' cymbal manufacturers, and rightly so! The company was founded in 1981 by Robert Zildjian, who left his family's company after his older brother Armand took the reins there. Armed with years of experience and a great knowledge of the trade, he founded his own cymbal manufacturing company named Sabian - a name that derives from the names of his three children, Sally, Bill and Andy (SaBiAn). Sabian HHX series The HHX series of cymbals is the modern counterpart to the vintage-sounding HH series, that was designed to add some aggression and attack to the dark, moody sound of hand-hammered cymbals. It is a line of high-end, 'Modern Dark' cymbals, cast from Sabian's special B20 bronze alloy (which contains 20% tin and traces of silver). These cymbals are hand-hammered by the master artisans at Sabian and tend to have a dark, yet powerful sound and a mid to low pitch. While retaining the personal qualities of hand-hammered cymbals, the HHX series also features Sabian's 'Tone Projection' design that enhances tone and projection. Sabian HHX 21-inch Raw Bell Dry Ride cymbal This 21-inch Raw Bell Dry Ride adheres to the same principle as the AAX Raw Bell Dry Ride, but delivers a dirtier, darker sound. As a relatively thick cymbal, it has a very focused sound with a clearly defined 'ping', while still guaranteeing a certain musicality. It has a raw, unlathed bell that will cut through anything without sounding overly bright. The 21-inch HHX Raw Bell Dry Ride is excellently suited for those who want to add some precision and power to their drum kit.
