Review: "The HHXtreme crash cymbals are weird. Good weird. Formerly called HH Fierce Crashes, these are loud and weird, bright and funky. For those of you who never investigated them under their previous name, we’ll cover them here.
HHXtreme crashes, tapped lightly, give the wash and roar and honk of mutated Chinese cymbals or gongs. They’re funky looking, too, with a low profile and an unhammered strip around the circumference. However, when you hit ’em hard, the HHXtreme crashes sound like a thin crash with a cutting, white noise roar that would easily carry it through loud and dense music. They keep their sonic ties to Chinese cymbals (or trashcan lids) but they are bright and clear. If you like the idea of a “thin” sounding cymbal that roars through the music, check these out. These will sell some earplugs, too. The roar and attack of the cymbals took our ears off right at the root. Sabian stops shy of calling it a specialty cymbal but we don’t. The HHXtreme crash is an uproarious specialty cymbal for drummers who need a cymbal with lots of juice. The sound is too weird (and too good) to just call it a crash. Available in 16″, 17″, 18″, 19″ sizes. Larger sizes recommended."
