Fast, dark and quick to decay, the Sabian HHX Complex splash cymbal delivers a short, low-pitched accent that sits easily in a kit without lingering. Built from extra-thin B20 bronze with a natural finish, it responds immediately to light stick work, opening up with minimal effort and producing a quick, pure note with very little wash. A blend of HH and HHX hammering, paired with a raw hand-hammered bell, adds tonal depth and dark complexity while enhancing low-end presence and keeping the response focused and consistent. Drawing from Sabian’s HH lineage dating back to 1982—known for its hand-hammered, vintage-inspired warmth—the HHX Complex line refines that foundation with a more modern voice and greater versatility across styles. Whether you prefer the quick response of the 7" or 8" or a slightly fuller accent from the 10", it adapts easily to subtle textures or more defined hits in jazz, fusion, indie or alternative settings, and the Sabian HHX Complex splash cymbal delivers a controlled, musical accent for drummers who want clarity without excess sustain.
