Key Features
Mix power and tone to create the explosive response of the Sabian HH 18’’ Medium Crash Cymbal. The Sabian HH 18’’ Medium Crash Cymbal features a heavier weight, increasing the playing power and focus, resulting in a more direct and louder response. The 18’’ diameter produces a loud tone with a moderate sustain, allowing the cymbal to stand out in your mix. Individually hand-crafted, each cymbal has a unique personality that lets you find your own sound within a selection of styles from Jazz to Rock. All of the Sabian HH cymbals are hand-hammered which provides a dark tone and a vintage, already played in feel.

When Sabian was first launched in 1982, Hand Hammered (HH) cymbals were the first products they manufactured - and these were the cymbals that made drummers all over the world fall in love with Sabian. Now, Sabian have remastered these original cymbals to produce models with added complexity and tone, delivering unmatched sonic texture across the entire line. Depending on the size and model, each remastered HH cymbal is hand hammered up to 3,000 times - in some cases more.
With the Vintage Dark tone of the HH a popular choice for Jazz, Rock, the Blues and beyond, the most popular models are those that offer the most versatility. HH is a traditional concept, so tradition, not innovation is what makes this such a popular choice. These models highlight the sounds drummers around the world - playing styles - have made their favourite.
