SABIAN 19" HHX X-Plosion Crash Brilliant Finish

The HHX X-Plosion Crash is engineered for explosive attack and cutting projection in high-demand environments. This 19" crash excels in rock, metal, and fusion applications where assertive cymbal definition cuts through dense mixes without compromise. Hand-chased construction and B20 bronze composition deliver a dynamic, punchy response that responds reliably to both delicate articulation and full-force strikes.

Sonic Character & Stick Response

Built from B20 bronze alloy, this crash produces very dynamic, punchy response with assertive presence and rapid decay with cutting projection. The thin profile and medium-thin weight allow rapid stick rebound and natural sustain without mushiness, making the cymbal equally responsive to soft touches and hard-hitting passages.

Construction & Finish

Hand-chased hammering across the entire surface ensures consistent stick articulation and refined tonal character. The brilliant finish provides a polished, visually striking appearance while maintaining full sonic integrity, and Canadian manufacture to SABIAN's exacting standards guarantees reliability in professional and gigging environments.
