SABIAN 17" HHX Synergy Heavy Single

SABIAN 17" HHX Synergy Heavy Single Crash Cymbal

The 17" HHX Synergy Heavy delivers a focused, articulate crash response with excellent stick definition and quick decay. This cymbal cuts through dense mixes without sacrificing musical complexity, making it a reliable choice for drummers working in rock, metal, and contemporary styles where clarity matters. The heavy weight provides durability and projection in both live and studio environments.

Sound Character & Tone

Built from B20 bronze alloy, this crash produces a modern, dark tonality that sits well in aggressive playing contexts. The combination of large peen hammering and Touch Response design ensures responsive dynamics—lighter strikes yield controlled wash while full hits generate explosive, cutting attacks without excessive wash.

Construction & Materials

The HHX hammering pattern is SABIAN's proprietary technique that shapes the cymbal's frequency response and sustain characteristics. The heavy weight classification means increased mass for greater projection, more controlled sustain, and resistance to warping under repeated heavy striking.
