7" HHX Complex Splash

Sabian 7" HHX Complex Splash Cymbal

This compact splash captures immediate articulation and a dark, multifaceted response that cuts through dense mix environments during tracking sessions. The 7" HHX Complex combines dual hammering techniques to produce a cymbal with responsive feel under the stick while maintaining sonic complexity uncommon at this size. Built for producers and engineers seeking quick accent work with genuine tonal depth, this splash performs equally well in studio tracking and live performance.

Tone & Sonic Character

The B20 bronze construction paired with hybrid HH and HHX hammering creates a quick, dark tone with strong attack and immediate decay. This combination blends the warmth of traditional HH hammering with the cutting edge of HHX series cymbals, producing a complex sonic signature that responds distinctly across different strike zones—a significant advantage when recording multiple takes and layering percussion tracks.
