Sabian 12016XNZ HHX 20 inch Zen China Cymbal

The SABIAN HHX Zen China Cymbal breaks conventional design rules with its innovative inverted Chinese construction, making it remarkably playable when mounted in a flat position. This 20" cymbal represents a fresh approach to traditional China cymbal design, offering drummers enhanced versatility in their setup options.

Crafted using time–honoured hand hammering techniques, the cymbal undergoes additional HHX hammering specifically applied to flatten the playing surface adjacent to the bell. This meticulous process creates a distinctive tonal character that sets it apart from standard China cymbals.

The result is a full–bodied, trashy China sound that opens up with ease and responds beautifully across a wide dynamic range. Players will appreciate how readily this cymbal responds to both subtle touches and aggressive strikes, making it an excellent choice for diverse musical styles.
