Collector’s Overview


Listed by Nick’s Drum Gear – Collector-Grade Cymbals, Professionally Curated


This 16" SABIAN HHX Evolution Crash is in pristine, unplayed condition and presents exactly as received from the factory. Carefully inspected and stored, it shows no signs of use and retains its full factory character.


Developed with Dave Weckl, the HHX Evolution Crash is voiced to deliver a fast, shimmering response with a smooth, musical envelope. Its thin profile produces a buttery feel under the stick, while the HHX hammering adds projection and clarity that allow it to cut without sounding harsh.


Sound Profile


Attack: Fast and glassy with immediate bloom

Tone: Warm and dark foundation with shimmering highs

Feel: Buttery and responsive, very touch-sensitive

Decay: Smooth and controlled, never abrupt

Nick’s Notes


This is a classic Evolution Crash voice. It opens instantly, feels soft under the stick, and never turns brittle. If you want a crash that responds at low volume but still carries when needed, this 16" is a workhorse.
