Sabian

A perfect blend of old and new world craftsmanship, HHX Complex Series features some of the richest, sweetest Rides SABIAN has ever produced. Medium rides produce controlled tones and a complex cut that will sit comfortably in any mix.

Crafted from pure SABIAN B20 Bronze using trickle-down technology from award-winning Evolution and X-Plosion cymbals, XSR delivers unprecedented sound and performance at a price designed to fit your cymbal budget. Combining the response of a thin model with the increased power of a medium-weight, the SABIAN 17" XSR Fast Crash is a highly versatile and effective crash, ideal for any drummer playing any musical style. XSR is not a budget series, but rather a line of smartly-priced cymbals that would not be out of place on any drum kit, on any stage.

The SABIAN 21" HHX Groove Ride is a funky blend of stroke and tone in a cymbal with simmering sound and feel. Until HHX, it was impossible to project darkness. But the dark, simmering sound, agitated bite and "Tone Projection" design of HHX makes this series more effective than others. Other cymbals may generate darkness, but HHX stirs up more simmering heat, more musical dirt, more of what drummers want to hear – and projects it. It gets you heard. And felt. HHX "Tone Projection" is an innovative design, created by the SABIAN Vault team.

Using the 18” XSR Fast Crash as a starting point, SABIAN has applied the highly-effective and successful B8 Pro double-ring O-Zone hole design to a B20 cast cymbal for the first time.

Using trickle down technology gleaned from years of developing some of the world’s top selling cymbals lines like Evolution, Legacy, and even Artisan, SABIAN HHX Complex has redefinied the modern sound. With Hand Hammered and HHX hammering techniques, HHX Complex O-Zone Chinas deliver dark, raw, aggressive bite, while employing SABIAN's historic, innovative 2-hole design pattern to amplify the characteristic trashy sound you would expect . The combination of the traditional China profile together with SABIAN's O-Zone holes is the ultimate Chinese cymbal design.

SABIAN’s XSR Suspended Cymbals are a great addition to any program looking for the combined value of great sound and smart price.

With its dark tone, the highly-responsive SABIAN 18 HHX Legacy Crash can play loudly, but always remains musical. Until HHX, it was impossible to project darkness. But the dark, simmering sound, agitated bite and Tone Projection design of HHX makes this series more effective than others. Other cymbals may generate darkness, but HHX stirs up more simmering heat, more musical dirt, more of what drummers want to hear – and projects it. It gets you heard. And felt. HHX Tone Projection is an innovative design, created by the SABIAN Vault team.

Crisp and lively stick and pedal responses are very bright and articulate, making the SABIAN 14" B8X Hi-Hats clean and penetrating models that deliver tight, bright sounds. Precision formed, hammered and lathed for pure, tonally tight sounds, B8X is the bright, cutting sound of pure Bronze … at a low price that makes your first move into this precious metal an easy one.

The SABIAN 21" FRX Ride is a pro-level, B20 Bronze light ride that provides dark, crisp sticking with buttery-soft feel. SABIAN FRX (Frequency Reduced) cymbals are designed for playing environments where other cymbals have too much attack.

The 18” HHX Thin Crash introduces a whole new design to the HHX line. Starting with a round of sparse hammering, followed by lathing, then denser HHX hammering over top, the result is a crash cymbal that is thinner, darker and faster than the HHX Studio Crashes it replaces. A smaller bell also ensures a faster attack and a crash cymbal that trends lighter in weight than most thin crashes. The versatility to easily cross musical styles has always been a hallmark of the HHX line, and the HHX 18” Thin Crash is no exception. If you’re seeking a small, thin Crash with shimmering dark tone – this is it!
