Sabian 18" HHX Evolution Crash

I owned so many cymbals in my life, and the best18 crash for me is this one, no Zildjian K custom or Paiste2002.
I had Sabian AAX and HH remastered.
This is the only character, wash, brightness, fullnes, projection, length, get-out of the way... This is it!
For cutting trough add a HHX 16 inch:) These are your new best friends.

This crash is the perfect companion for a 16" fast crash.
Very responsive if you hit gently.
Fat dark sound when you hit hardly.
But this crash is thin compared to others 18" crash.
So hit hard but being kind.

I've always wanted this cymbal. Perhaps it was the finish and quality but was always just out of my price range. When I finally managed to purchase it I must say I did not regret it for a second. The sound of this cymbal is like no other. It has very crisp highs that seem to cut through a mix yet it can be subtle and delicate. Suits a variety of play styles and is a general all rounder.

Generally I like to use Sabian HHX cymbals because I believe that they are one of the best.
With the crash 16" wich I have since before, I bought this 18" crash to get another extra fuller sound. It is very good quality and useful in any type of music. It's a little thicker than the HHX Evolution 16", and will probably last longer.

If you have HHX Evolution set or are looking for an absolute quality looking and sounding cymbal of the darker tones - this is an awesome cymbal and I actually have two of them they are so good. Great response,, lovely lovely bell on top and great looking.

It has a very clean and full sound. I love it! The only problem is that it is very thin so you have to be careful when you play rock or something hard.
