Sabian HHX Redlight Crash 19

Delivering a tone that is exceptionally rich in frequencies and full-bodied, this cymbal stands as one of Sabian's most innovative creations. The thin, dark-sounding 19-inch HHX Complex Thin Crash is a true flagship model, representing the pinnacle of the company's cymbal-making artistry. It is designed for drummers who seek a deep, complex, and expressive voice that adds a layer of sophistication to their sound.

The secret to its unique character lies in the revolutionary manufacturing process. Sabian employs a combination of hammering techniques from their legendary HH and modern HHX lines. This dual-hammering on the B20 bronze alloy results in a cymbal with an extraordinarily soft and buttery feel under the stick, making it a joy to play. Each strike produces a "torn" crash sound that is trashy and complex, yet smooth and musical.

A masterpiece of dark sound

As one of the darkest crashes in the HHX Complex series, this model offers a very fast, explosive response that gets out of the way quickly with a rapid decay. This makes it incredibly versatile, allowing it to sit perfectly in a wide range of musical contexts, from intricate jazz patterns to powerful rock accents. Its traditional finish not only looks stunning but also contributes to the warmth and complexity of its tone. This cymbal is not just an instrument; it's an inspiration, offering a wealth of textures for the discerning musician.
