Review: "Well, there is some truth in advertising. The first cymbal I tried was the 20" ride, and I was immediately impressed by its power to resonate. Sporting a so-called “jumbo hammered” surface and beautiful brilliant finish, the ride produced a clear, audible stick attack sound. It also possessed great dynamics. The spread was loud (but not too loud) and dark (but not too dark). Playing quarter notes on the unlathed bell was like rush hour at a railroad crossing: the ring was clear and strong—and I didn’t have to bang very hard to achieve it.
When I used nylon-tipped sticks, my job became even easier. “Hidden” highs were revealed, and additional high and low overtones washed over me. The HHX “tone projection,” coupled with the multi-hammered surface, contributed to the extra shimmering vibrations. I was beginning to think that Sabian was right: These cymbals do “play themselves.”"
