This cymbal is here on consignment and is in good condition. No cracks, edge dings, or keyholing. Pictures are of the cymbal that you will receive. Brilliant finish.

Highly responsive model has increased high end for brighter, faster and more penetrating projection.

With an innovative 'Tone Projection' design shooting simmering hot, dark tone through all volumes and styles of music, the Sabian HHX cymbal is the Modern Dark sound.

Hand-guided large-peen hammering creates the complex, modern-dark tone of HHX, while many of the most popular models– like Evolution and Legacy – receive hand-hammering using peens and anvils that have been hand-shaped in the Vault.

• Sabian metallurgists combine measured amounts of copper, tin, and silver to create centuries-old recipe for Sabian B20 bronze alloy
• Molten-hot B20 bronze is very carefully hand-poured into pots, and once cooled, yields already-musical B20 bronze castings
• B20 castings are meticulously hand-separated by weight and prepared to remove all impurities
• Castings are fed through a large rolling oven up to a dozen times, involving a crew of 5 men who must work with choreographic precision under intense heat
• During the entire rolling process, blanks must be rotated carefully to create a molecular weave for strength and durability
• As castings become cymbal blanks, custom-built machine tools are expertly hand-operated to press bells into blanks, drill holes in center, cut down to size and bump for approximate shape
• A combination of hand-guided machine hammering and hand-hammering is used to shape and form each cymbal, adding musicality, complexity, and bright tone
• Lathe craftsmen operate specially retrofitted lathes, thinning cymbal to desired gauge while adding crucial tonal grooves
• Cymbal must be trimmed to exact size and the edges buffed for smoothness
• Each individual cymbal is hand-tested and hand-weighed in the Vault by Vault sound specialists, a critical process
• Each individual cymbal is placed on a shelf to age, allowing the frantically active molecules to slow down and stabilize
• Each individual cymbal is once again hand-tested by two Vault specialists to ensure they fit the parameters of the series and model
