Description

The updated HHX Thin Crash design begins with sparse hammering, followed by lathing and finished with denser HHX hammering on top. This process results in a crash that opens up instantly, speaks with a shimmering dark character and trends lighter in weight than most thin crashes, making it highly responsive and musical.

Sound & Feel:
  • Shimmering dark crash tone
  • Fast, immediate attack with quick decay
  • Thin, lively feel with excellent responsiveness
  • Musical spread that never overwhelms
  • Expressive across a wide dynamic range
Built to Perform:
  • B20 bronze construction for depth and tonal richness
  • Refined HHX hammering enhances speed and darkness
  • Smaller bell improves articulation and response
  • Lighter profile increases sensitivity and control
  • Professional-grade crash cymbal for modern playing
Ideal For:
  • Drummers seeking a dark, fast and expressive crash
  • Rock, alternative, fusion, jazz-influenced and modern styles
  • Players who want quick response with rich tone
  • Studio and live settings requiring controlled dynamics
  • Setups favouring musical shimmer over sheer volume
