Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The HHX Omni fits within the spirit of the HHX series, known for cymbals with a dark and rich character, suited to modern approaches where nuance is as important as power. Developed in collaboration with Jojo Mayer, it aims at a simple yet demanding concept: to offer very different responses on the same cymbal depending on the struck zone, thereby expanding the rhythmic vocabulary without increasing the number of cymbals on the kit.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
The Sabian HHX Omni 19 is intended for intermediate to expert drummers seeking a cymbal with character, capable of supporting very dynamic and precise playing. It is particularly suitable for styles that frequently alternate textures and intensities: modern jazz, fusion, funk, groove, alternative rock, electronic music played on acoustic drums, as well as studio contexts where multiple "voices" are needed from a single instrument.

Questions frequently asked
Can the Sabian HHX Omni 19 be used as both a ride and a crash?
Its design combines an unlathed center, suitable for defined ride patterns, with a thinner outer edge that opens up quickly for crash accents. Both surfaces allow transitioning from focused attacks to wider accents on a 19-inch cymbal.
What sound does the HHX Omni 19 in B20 alloy offer?
The B20 alloy provides a rich harmonic palette and a dark tone. The center enhances ping precision, while the outer bow develops a broader wash.
For which styles is the 19-inch Omni ride suitable?
This model is suitable for modern jazz, fusion, funk, groove, and alternative rock. Its 19-inch diameter also allows for quick texture changes in studio settings or with electronic music played on an acoustic drum kit.
What is the thickness of the Sabian 119OMX?
This cymbal features a medium thin thickness, with a medium weight center and a thinner outer edge.
Is the surface of the HHX Omni hammered and lathed?
Hammering is present on this B20 ride. The finish is natural/bright, while the center remains unlathed to maintain a more controlled response.
