Sabian HHX 17'' Legacy Crash piatto

Descrizione

Along with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl, Sabian is considered as one of the 'big four' cymbal manufacturers, and rightly so! The company was founded in 1981 by Robert Zildjian, who left his family's company after his older brother Armand took the reins there. Armed with years of experience and great knowledge of the trade, he founded his own cymbal manufacturing company named Sabian - a name that derives from the names of his three children, Sally, Bill and Andy (SaBiAn).

Sabian HHX series

The HHX series of cymbals is the modern counterpart to the vintage-sounding HH series, that was designed to add some aggression and attack to the dark, moody sound of hand-hammered cymbals. It is a line of high-end, 'Modern Dark' cymbals, cast from Sabian's special B20 bronze alloy (which contains 20% tin and traces of silver). These cymbals are hand-hammered by the master artisans at Sabian and tend to have a dark, yet powerful sound and a mid to low pitch. While retaining the personal qualities of hand-hammered cymbals, the HHX series also features Sabian's 'Tone Projection' design that enhances tone and projection.

Sabian HHX 17-inch Legacy Crash cymbal

Just like the HHX Evolution line, the Legacy cymbals were designed in collaboration with renowned drummer Dave Weckl. While they remain true to the 'Modern Dark' classification of the HHX series, the Legacy line was designed to showcase the darker side of the sound spectrum. They feature Sabian's 'Tone Texture', which gives the cymbals in the Legacy series a broader, more complex sound. This 17-inch Legacy Crash is very punchy and has the complexity and darkness this series strives for in spades. According to Dave Weckl himself these cymbals were made to 'punctuate without overpowering'.
