Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
Before the arrival of the HHX series, cymbals with a dark timbre were often considered too "tame" and lacked sharpness. The HHX series was specifically developed to combine dark, rich, and complex sounds with a clear presence capable of cutting through in real situations. In this logic, the HHX Complex range stands as a particularly refined and expressive variation, inspired by technologies and expertise used in the brand's iconic lines, to achieve crash and ride cymbals that are simultaneously rich, smooth, and powerful.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
The SABIAN HHX Complex Crash 16 in is aimed at intermediate to expert drummers looking for a cymbal that is very musical in the studio and sturdy enough for live performance. It excels in modern rock, pop, fusion, RnB, alternative metal, and contemporary music where a dark, wide, and expressive crash is desired, while maintaining a clear attack and powerful projection. Its Medium Loose feel is particularly suited to dynamic playing, accented hits, and "carried" crashes that fill the space.
