WHAT’S NEW? 

This year the SABIAN Vault Team has 

designed a selection of new models 

that highlight the ever-evolving 

progression of SABIAN cymbal 

making. When we introduced the 

concept of innovative sound design 

with AAX, HHX, Vault and others, we 

evolved the Vintage sounds of our 

traditional AA and HH series into 

Modern sounds for today’s music. 

With these new models that 

innovation continues.

Modern Dark 

The hot simmer of HHX is a modern take on the 

vintage darkness found in traditional hand hammered 

cymbals. With its ‘Tone Projection’ design HHX is the 

ultimate dark cymbal for today’s music. 

What is Tone Projection? 

Many traditional dark cymbals generate tone but they don’t 

project it effectively enough to be heard through much 

of today's music. The innovative ‘Tone Projection’ design 

of hhX shoots the simmering darkness of these cymbals 

through any music. 

Killer Crash 

The X-Treme Crash 

With a wicked combination of high-speed response, tonal agitation, and a darkness 

that simmers with heat, the HHX X-Treme Crash is about as funky as a cymbal can 

get. Deep, dark, and dangerous, this cymbal is tonally hot beyond belief. 

Killer Crash 

The Evolution O-Zone Crash 

With an exclusive multi-hole design accelerating its response rate, 

darkening its tone, and boosting agitation in its sound, the HHX Evolution 

O-Zone delivers like a dark and dirty chinese/crash. 

“As soon as I heard some great players getting wonderful sounds 

with HHX, I knew my Evolution and Legacy cymbals had to be 

part of this series. Nothing else comes close to delivering a dark, 

vintage sound in cymbals designed for todays' modern players.” 

DAVe WeCKL The Dave Weckl Band 

“HHX with ‘Tone Projection’ and 

AAX with ‘Dynamic Focus’ are great 

examples of how SABIAN has taken 

traditional sounds and reinvented 

them in cymbals designed for today.”

Vintage Dark 

HH is hand hammered. When the original world 

renowned cymbal making workshop in Turkey 

closed its doors for good, its master cymbal 

making artisans came to SABIAN. Today the 

legacy of their expertise and craftsmanship can 

be heard in the deep, dark, musical tone of HH, 

the hand hammered cymbal of choice with the 

world’s leading drummers. 

What makes HH so special? 

every hammering artisan has a different style and touch, 

so the power and placement of their strokes will vary, 

meaning any hh you play will give you your own 

unique tone. 

“HH definitely gives me the 

sound, the pleasure, the feel.” 

Bernard Purdie 

Session great: Steely Dan/ 

Aretha Franklin/Jeff Beck 

“ The sound I have on the 18” 

is a sound...I don’t know... 

everybody wants to take it.” 

Jimmy Cobb 

Jazz great: Miles Davis/ 

John Coltrane/Cannonball Adderly
