Review: "Sabian’s classifies their HHX series as “Modern Dark . . . drier, dirtier, funkier”. The word “Dark” translates to lots of low frequency undertones, and I think, after having analyzed quite a few cymbals, “dirtier” means more midrange wash . . . more “SHHHHH” to the sound. One of the models is the HHX X-Plosion Crash, and that means it plays loud and is meant to be hit hard. The 19″ version reviewed here delivers.
The close-up photo shows that the cymbal is finely lathed only on the main body of the cymbal, not the bell. The crash is piercing, yet has the deep undertones that meet the definition of “dark”, and the sustain is quite long. It rides well, and the bell is very musical."
