Cymbals

Aero meets Complex! SABIAN has brought their popular Aero crash design to HHX Complex. Boosted highs and just the right amount of darkness and lows that HHX Complex is known for.  

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 is a line of exquisitely dark cymbals. These cymbals employ a combination of HH and HHX hammering, a raw bell, and a number of the aforementioned proprietary techniques – resulting in the richest and sweetest rides and crashes, and the fattest sets of Hats SABIAN has ever produced.

Drawing from the foundation of other Big Apple rides, this flat ride combines many elements for a unique cymbal. Starting off, the thin weight allows this cymbal to be very expressive regardless of the dynamic level. Next, the unlathed surface and lack of a bell produce razor sharp definition wrapped in an earthy, raw vibe. Finally, there is a slight bow in the shape which adds a roar and hint of sizzle in the wash and creates a low, breathy response when crashed.

Effortless touch and clean sound. This is Meinl Pure Alloy. A timeless voice formed with fully lathed surfaces allows them to be expressive in virtually any style.
