Designed in the Sabian Vault with veteran jazz artist Jeff Hamilton, Hammertone delivers the uncompromising musicality of Jeff's legendary performances.
Ā HH HammertoneĀ Ride
- Versatile providing both ride and crash properties ā a crucial consideration given that Jeff does not use a crash cymbal in his standard set-up.
- The high profile and exaggerated bow curvature were achieved through extensive hand hammering, giving theĀ ride the exact sound and profile desired by Hamilton.
- A special lathing technique results in tapered edges that provide controlled stick attack and warm spread when used as a crash.

Reviews
"For a while Jeff had mentioned to me that he felt a ride
which would have enough volume, cut, and penetration for
large ensembles would round out the HH Hammertone ride
collection. This was a request we have also received from
drummers around the world." - Christian Stankee, Sabianās Global Artist Relations Director
"The Hammertone Ride with its thin, extended rim responds super quickly to crash accents with a dark, fat sound. The immediate change to a fast ride pattern is easily feasible, and the fine, slightly wooden stick sound is prominent again. Ideally suited for the acoustic jazz context due to the very low dynamic range." -Ā Ralf Mikolajczak
"Hammertone cymbals deliver the uncompromising musicality of Jeff HamiltonĆ¢ā¬ā¢s legendary performances. The rides offer unparalleled stick definition and warm, low undertones that never overpower. A bowed profile tapers to a paper thin edge, so they open up quickly when crashed." -Ā Team
