SABIAN 13" HHX Evolution Top Brilliant Finish

SABIAN 13" HHX Evolution Hi-Hats, Brilliant Finish

The SABIAN 13" HHX Evolution Hi-Hats deliver touch-sensitive response with glassy, shimmering clarity that cuts through even the busiest sticking patterns. These cymbals project a dark, simmering Modern tone with an agitated bite—a sonic character that sits distinctly apart from conventional hi-hat designs. The medium-weight top paired with a heavy bottom cymbal creates a balanced feel that responds to dynamics across the full range of playing intensities, making them reliable workhorses for touring and session work.

Tone & Projection

Built on SABIAN's innovative HHX Tone Projection design, this pair stirs up simmering heat and musical dirt that projects at all volumes. Live on stage or in the studio, the combination of the B20 Bronze alloy and hand-hammered construction yields a Modern Dark tone with the clarity and presence needed to sit prominently in any ensemble context without fighting the mix.

Construction & Materials

Hand-hammered from B20 Bronze (80% copper, 20% tin), these cymbals feature a brilliant glossy finish that enhances their visual appeal while maintaining acoustic integrity. The medium-weight top (794g) paired with the heavy-weight bottom (1159g) creates the ideal mass distribution for responsive yet controlled hi-hat interaction that stands up to road use and repeated gigging.
