Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
At 17 inches, the HHX Complex Thin Crash is a dark, responsive crash for drummers who shape accents with detail. The thin design opens rapidly and moves on with a short sustain, keeping technical playing articulate. A raw bell and blended HH/HHX hammering bring extra overtones and expressive nuance to the sound. Its B20 bronze construction supports the warm, rich tonal character, with a balance of spread and shimmer.
