Before the HHX, dark cymbals lacked sharpness. The unique combination of a high profile, a large raw bell, and XXL hammering allows the complex and dark tones of the HHX to be biting in any musical context. Ideal for contemporary music and stages that require volume and projection, the HHX are the ultimate answer for drummers who want to combine dark sounds and power, tradition and modernity.
ANTHOLOGY Rhymes with Unreleased!
Jojo Mayer has once again used his technical knowledge and talent to create this series with an incredible sound!
Fierce hi-hats, Fierce crash, Ride Omni or Chopper, these cymbals have marked Sabian's history and drummers worldwide who had the chance to play them. The new Anthology will not break the rule and will certainly become very popular!
The innovative design of the HHX Anthology offers a full spectrum of ride and crash sounds on each cymbal, with no compromise on sound or feel. Unprecedented control and sound range offering new possibilities for drummers to play and create in their own way and without limits.
Between Tradition and Modernism
The HHX Anthology series is the pinnacle of the fundamental innovations of HHX cymbals, combining traditional and contemporary sounds in a single cymbal. Combining AAX and HHX hammering to capture the very essence of AAX, that is a pure and bright sound, and the specifics of HHX which provide a thin cymbal and a darker tone.
Two Types of Sounds
The Anthology series offers two lines: Low and High. This allows you to select the type of sound you want. A slightly higher pitch for the High series and a much higher and more pronounced bell. This ride with modern, powerful, and punchy tones offers a full spectrum of the sonic possibilities of a ride and a crash. The HHX Anthology makes no compromises on sound or playing feel. It reflects Jojo Mayer’s style: precise, powerful, and versatile.
Attention to Detail
The rings of the Anthology logo are a visual representation of how this product unifies the past, present, tradition, and Sabian’s research.
The Anthology logo is curved and placed at 10 o’clock, giving it its own space without cluttering the HHX area. All this to create an interesting balance that makes this cymbal unique in appearance and incredible in sound.
The Anthology and HHX logos have lighter contours, in golden ink, on the hammered part. The hammered bronze creates a subtle tone-on-tone effect that gives the cymbal a discreet and minimalist luxury impression.
The Sabian logos, size, and weight are inscribed on the back side of the cymbal.
