Before the HHX, dark cymbals lacked edge. The unique combination of a high profile, a large raw bell, and XXL hammering allows the HHX's complex and dark tones to deliver bite in any musical context. Ideal for contemporary music and live performances that demand volume and projection, the HHX are the ultimate answer for drummers looking to combine dark and powerful tones, traditional and modern.
The centerpiece of this collection, the 22" HHX MAX ride is the result of years of experience and inspiration, directly drawn from Mike's favorite cymbals. This unique model combines the best features of the HH Rock Brilliant 22" cymbal, used for years with Dream Theater, and the 40th Anniversary Artisan Raw Bell Dry Ride, one of the most recent in his arsenal.
Its innovative design combines HH and HHX hammering, providing the perfect balance between power and subtlety. The body's turning extends to the rim on both sides, while the raw-hammered bell retains all the authenticity of the HHX style.
The result? An ultra-versatile ride, combining precision and explosiveness, with impressive projection and a glossy finish that instantly catches the eye. Ideal for drummers seeking a punchy and refined sound, it's a must-have on stage and in the studio.
