Review: "The 20" HHX Stage and Power rides are true representatives of Sabian's promotional claims for this new series. They offer the dark, full musical tonalities of Hand Hammered cymbals, but add a touch of additional brightness and projection. The Power ride is more of the same, with the added stick definition that heavier cymbals provide. With an oversized bell (with its own killer sound) that promotes projection and sustain, this model could build up to a roar if played hard and fast. But it never got out of control."
