SABIAN 19" HHX X-Plosion Crash Brilliant Finish

The HHX X-Plosion Crash delivers explosive attack with a responsive, cutting character that cuts through dense mix environments. This 19" crash excels in rock, metal, and fusion settings where assertive cymbal definition is essential. Hand-chased construction ensures consistent stick articulation and dynamic range across the playing surface.

Sonic Character & Response

Built from B20 bronze alloy, this crash produces a very dynamic, punchy response with assertive presence. The thin profile and medium-thin weight category allow rapid stick rebound and natural sustain without mushiness, making it responsive to both soft articulation and full-force strikes.

Construction & Craftsmanship

Hand-chased hammering gives this cymbal consistent workmanship and tonal refinement across its surface. Manufactured in Canada to SABIAN's exacting standards, the brilliant finish provides a polished, visually striking appearance while maintaining the sonic integrity of the B20 composition.
