Sabians HH cymbals are hand-hammered into shape to achieve the perfect Sabian sound. Each cymbal receives between 2,000 and 4,000 hammer blows, which results in an increase in musicality, tonal complexity and unmatched sonic texture. The HH cymbals are renowned for their dark sound, which is achieved for hammering the B20 metal design cymbal into perfect standard. These vintage style cymbals are extremely popular and praised by many musical greats.
With the Vintage Dark tone of the HH a popular choice for Jazz, Rock, the Blues and beyond, the most popular models are those that offer the most versatility. HH is a traditional concept, so tradition, not innovation is what makes this such a popular choice. These models highlight the sounds drummers around the world - playing styles - have made their favourite. Depending on the size and model, each remastered HH cymbal can be hammered up to 3,000 times - in some cases more. ''Traditional Turkish hand hammering is more than just our history,'' explains Sabian Master Sound Specialist Mark Love, ''It's our DNA. We've been using traditional hand hammering techniques since day one.''
