Sabian 14-Inch HHX Evolution Hi-Hat Brilliant Finish Cymbals Glassy, shimmering responses that project with clarityHHX Tone Projection stirs up simmering heat, musical dirtDelivers simmering Modern Dark tone at all volumesProtected by SABIAN Two-Year Warranty The combination of a crisp HHX top over a hand-hammered bottom delivers the perfect amount of musicality and sensitivity to SABIAN 14? HHX Evolution Hats, allowing them to play well at any volume. The hand-hammered bottom adds tonal complexity, especially when played open, where these killer hats produce an underlying low, dark wash. But the magic really starts to happen when they?re played wide open: their brightness gets fuller and louder, allowing them to cut through even the loudest hard rock without ever losing their dark character. They have the warm tone that Dave Weckl loves so much, but also brightness in the high end. When designing these hats, it was very important to have the right mix? a balance of both. Without a doubt, SABIAN and Dave Weckl hit a home run with these. 14? HHX Evolution Hats are exactly the essence of what Dave Weckl was looking for when he approached SABIAN. In fact, that?s exactly what the HHX Evolution line is all about. These are cymbals that retain the low end while brightened the highs. And sensitivity is increased so that the lightest touch of a stick sets them off. ?Dave has a very acute sense of hearing and knows exactly what he wants from his cymbals,? comments Vault Specialist Mark Love. ?In addition to high-response sensitivity, he requested a specific degree of separation between the brighter high-end tones and the warmer low end, for a sound that was both warm and cool. He was very specific, and this is why our craftsmen were able to design Evolution to such exact standards. We are extremely pleased with the results and anticipate enormous interest in these cymbals. ? Until HHX, dark cymbals simply did not cut. With HHX, SABIAN changed all of that. Using an innovative combination of high-profile shape, large raw bell and jumbo sized hammering, they ensured that the dark, tonally complex sound of HHX cuts in any situation. Essentially, they took the warm, dark, complex tone of HH cymbals and made it cut for modern musical settings. While other cymbals may generate darkness, HHX stirs up more simmering heat, more musical dirt, more of what drummers want to hear ? and projects it. It gets you heard. It?s just another innovative design feature, created by the SABIAN Vault team. Delivering simmering Modern Dark tone at all volumes, it?s little wonder HHX is played by top SABIAN artists like Tomas Haake (Meshuggah), Jojo Mayer (Nerve), Karl Brazil (Robbie Williams), Brian Frasier Moore (Madonna), Mark Guiliana (Mehliana), Dom Famularo, Chris Dave (Robert Glasper), Mike Portnoy (Winery Dogs), and many, many more. ?The magic of HHX is the darkness that allows me to go places I wasn?t able to go before. These cymbals inspire me to play great because they always sound great,? claims drumming?s global ambassador Dom Famularo. Tomas Haake, the powerhouse drummer for tonally dense Swedish extreme metal band Meshuggah, approaches it from a different angle, ?Other cymbals may be dark, but HHX is dynamic?cymbals can disappear when you?re playing outdoor stages to 60,000 people. But HHX cymbals always sound great, they?re always there. ? Another man with a deep experience of SABIAN sounds is Mike Portnoy. His monstrous set-ups with Dream Theater were ? to quote the man himself ? ?vast?. ?HHX added a whole new level of diversity. It combines the best elements of AA, AAX and HH into one. I love the dark side of HHX. It?s definitely something other cymbals just do not have. ? Like all SABIAN B20 Cast Cymbals, the HHX Evolution Mini Chinese begins its life in the Foundry, where a centuries-old family process is used
