18" HHX X-Plosion Crash Brilliant

Gorgeous dark crash cymbal. I love this paired with the 18" AAXplosion, which gives a perfect separation in pitch without a change in volume, decay or responsiveness that comes with a big jump in diameter. I love how much volume this cymbal produces while still being relatively dark. I also pair it with an HHXtreme crash which is trashier but well matched in pitch to this one. Usable bell, great length of decay and great response under the stick. Incredible well-balanced modern dark cymbal and quite durable. I have had mine for years and not every crash will live that long.
