Sabian 16″ HH Medium-Thin Crash Cymbal
The Sabian 16″ HH Medium-Thin Crash captures explosive transients with controlled sustain, blending punchy attack and articulate tone for detailed multitrack recording and mix-ready live tracking. This hand-hammered cymbal produces the unmistakable warmth that only traditional craftsmanship can achieve, translating across studio sessions in funk, jazz, and rock contexts.
Tone & Sonic Character
Built with B20 bronze alloy and shaped through traditional hand-hammering, this crash produces a dark, explosive sound signature with impressive complexity. The medium-thin construction allows for faster stick definition while maintaining musical sustain, delivering the refined tonal texture that defines HH Remastered cymbals—critical for achieving separation in dense mixes and layered overdubs.
Studio Performance & Integration
At 1025 grams and 16 inches in diameter, this crash sits naturally in the overhead and room mic chain without overwhelming adjacent frequencies. The enhanced hammering techniques used in the HH Remastered series add structural complexity and sonic depth, ensuring the cymbal cuts clearly in dense arrangements while maintaining the durability expected from a professional-grade cymbal backed by SABIAN’s two-year warranty.
