Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The HHX series continues the legacy of the HH family's hand-hammered cymbals, with a clear intention: to push further the projection and responsiveness while maintaining dark and musical fundamentals. In this spirit, the Legacy line, developed with Dave Weckl, stands as a bold variation: darker, more textured, blending tradition and modernity to suit both sophisticated playing and demanding stage contexts.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
The HHX Legacy 22 Ride is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced drummers seeking a ride cymbal that remains clear in dense mixes without becoming bright or metallic. It excels in modern jazz, fusion, pop, rock, and gospel, where a cymbal that is both warm and precise with natural wash control is expected. If you like to "drive" the groove with clear stick definition while maintaining a dark, enveloping background, this 22" can become a centerpiece of your set.
