HHX CRAFTSMANSHIP
Hand-guided large-peen hammering creates the complex, modern-dark tone of HHX, while many of the most popular models (like Evolution and Legacy) receive hand-hammering using peens and anvils that have been hand-shaped in the Vault.

Sabian metallurgists combine measured amounts of copper, tin and silver to create centuries-old recipe for Sabian B20 bronze alloy
Molten-hot B20 bronze is very carefully hand-poured into pots, and once cooled, yields already-musical B20 bronze castings
B20 castings are meticulously hand-separated by weight and prepared to remove all impurities
Castings are fed through a large rolling oven up to a dozen times, involving a crew of 5 men who must work with choreographic precision under intense heat
During the entire rolling process, blanks must be rotated carefully to create a molecular weave for strength and durability
As castings become cymbal blanks, custom-built machine tools are expertly hand-operated to press bells into blanks, drill holes in center, cut down to size and bump for approximate shape
A combination of hand-guided machine hammering and hand-hammering is used to shape and form each cymbal, adding musicality, complexity, and bright tone
Lathe craftsmen operate specially retrofitted lathes, thinning cymbal to desired gauge while adding crucial tonal grooves
Cymbal must be trimmed to exact size and the edges buffed for smoothness
Each individual cymbal is hand-tested and hand-weighed in the Vault by Vault sound specialists, a critical process
Each individual cymbal is placed on a shelf to age, allowing the frantically active molecules to slow down and stabilize
Each individual cymbal is once again hand-tested by two Vault specialists to ensure they fit the parameters of the series and model

Simmering, dark tones boosted by explosive power deliver a toneful explosion.
