The sound is a crude and very aggressive combination of a Thin Crash and Chinese − extremely raw, nasty and very biting. The attack has an immediate high followed by low, dark and dirty sustain. The 18” HHX Evolution O-Zone has eight 2” holes that serve to increase the nasty-factor. They also lighten the weight of the cymbal, so while size and volume remain the same, the response is actually much faster with less metal mass to move. The holes also limit the movement of vibrations to gate the sound, which increases the definition of each stroke. Manufacturers Description Perforated with 2" holes, this innovative Crash cymbal delivers raw, dark and dirty bite. The SABIAN 18" HHX Evolution O-Zone Crash in a Killer O-Zone! Until HHX, it was impossible to project darkness. But the dark, simmering sound, agitated bite and "Tone Projection" design of HHX makes this series more effective than others. Other cymbals may generate darkness, but HHX stirs up more simmering heat, more musical dirt, more of what drummers want to hear â“ and projects it. It gets you heard. And felt. HHX "Tone Projection" is an innovative design, created by the SABIAN Vault team. 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 Specifications General Product Type: Percussion Product Sub Type: Cymbals Description: 18 hhx evolut o-zone cr br Catalog Page #: 473 Dimensions Height: 1.0 Length: 1.0 Volume: 0.0010 Weight: 1.0 FAST SHIPPING Packed by specialists in high-dollar and fragile shipments Packages are always shipped fully insured (signature required on items above $100) Fast Shipping, free to the lower 48 states on most items (see individual item for details) Questions about shipping?
