If you need a crash with more subtlety, give this cymbal a try. It has more tone than a lot of crash cymbals out there, as well as a low, dark color and plenty of wash due to the thin profile.
HHX cymbals, like their HH counterparts, are hand-hammered by a Sabian cymbal maker in the factory. The HHX line has been modified from its HH roots by including Sabian's "Tone Projection" design - you'll notice much larger ridges and bumps on the bow of the cymbal.
This design increases projection and 'spiciness', effectively creating a more modern version of the already dark HH sound. These cymbals work very well every musical style, putting the HHX series among the most popular cymbals on the market today.
