Love this crash

I really love this cymbal. Have an 18" Bright crash AAX that compliments it. It's very dark and harmonic and develops brighter the louder you play it. It's like a Kzildjian mixed with a AAX explosion (my 16inch cymbal). I play with a local band and when they heard it they immediately noticed a difference from the AAX dark crash that I used to have. "Slices through guitar chords like a samurai" my bassist said, haha. Moreover this cymbal is much louder than the bright crash, so if you're looking for something more balanced for all types of music try the Evolution crash. It literally explodes at high volumes. Considering getting a 20" now for more power. If it ever cracks (and I hope it doesn't) I'll replace it immediately.

Don't let the name "Xplosion" fool you, these are not one-dimensional cymbals.  I have a full set of HHXPlosion crashes (14",16",18") and they sound amazing.  I've always played brighter cymbals (AA, A Custom, etc.) and when I was looking for a more versatile sound I decided upon a cymbal pack with HHX Studio crashes.  Well, the vendor sent the wrong pack and I received the HHXPlosion pack by mistake.  I am so glad, since the XPlosion line sounds amazing.   I added a 15" as soon as I could. The 14" and 15" sound like small crashes and not splashes, like in some other cymbal lines.

 

Each cymbal has a defined note and decays quickly.  The bells are excellent and the crashes sound amazing live.  I can play them softly and they speak clearly then get out of the way, or crash heavily and cut through guitars like butter.  Cymbal swells sound like orchestral cymbals.

HHX X-Plosion 15"

Overall:

The only thing i cn say is, if you're looking for a good secondary crash, this is it. If you don't believe me, try it out first, at a local music shop or something.

I LOVE the sound of this crash.     I didn't want a fast crash, i was looking for a standard crash sound. 15" was the only size available, so i looked up a couple reviews (on this site), and decided upon the HHX. I can honestly say, it is FANTASTIC. The sound clip on the Sabian website doesn't do its smooth as butter, shimmering sound, the LEAST bit of justice. As has been mentioned before, it is full, and sounds almost like a 16" crash. This is exactly the sound i was looking for.

Straight out fo the box, i could tell that this was a gem. Flawless surface, polished to a mirror-like shine. Sabian gets an A+ for that, "OOH. SHINY." factor, lemme tell ya.     It doesn't feel flimsy at all.

I can't really say much about the price, since i got it for free. I can say, if i had heard it in person before buying it, i would have been on the edge about buying it full price. It's alot for a 15", in my opinion, but the sound absolutely blows me away, so your call.

i own three of these. two 18's and one 16''. the hhx series has the sweetest sound i have ever heard. none of my cymbals have ever cracked or chipped. and believe me... we gig a lot and our drummer hits really hard. the raw bell sounds amazing. if i ever break one i will immediately replace it. plus the finish is just beautiful. it makes your kit look so nice.

I bought this cymbal on clearance at a local music shop and was shocked when I first struck it at home. It sounds like a 16"! It has so much tone for a 15" cymbal, and sustain that you'd find on a 17". Absolutely no "splash effect" on this cymbal!
