HHX Anthology is a pinnacle of essential HHX technologies, uniting traditional and contemporary sounds. The cymbals embody Jojo Mayer's philosophy that it is the player who decides what the cymbals are crash or ride. They transcend labels. The 22" HHX Anthology Low Bell's innovative design allows the full spectrum of both ride and crash sounds to unfold in each cymbal with no compromise to sound or feel. The unprecedented sonic control and range puts creativity into the drummer's hands and opens new possibilities to play their way.
The player stays in control. When riding the cymbal, stick definition never gets lost or washed out by the spread of the cymbal. Quick accents to the cymbal open up and immediately return.
The crashing properties range from sensitive rolls with fingertips or mallets, to explosive crashes that will punch through the loudest musical passages. The bell tones are balanced and clear at all dynamic levels.
Warm, vintage tones spiced up to serve today's music.
Buttery feel and looseness that is traditionally only found in thinner cymbals comes with the projection of heavier weights.
Each cymbal's specific weight is measured and inscribed inside the bell by the cymbal smith.
The philosophy of transcending labels is reflected with minimized branding and logos on all Anthology cymbals.
