SABIAN 16" HHX Suspended

SABIAN 16" HHX Suspended Cymbal

The 16" HHX Suspended delivers quick response with a dark, rich shimmer that projects clearly without excessive volume. This cymbal blossoms immediately after attack, making it an excellent choice for band and orchestral settings where controlled dynamics and tonal sophistication matter. The medium-thin weight and large-peen hammering design provide the responsiveness expected in professional and collegiate ensembles.

Sound & Tone Character

Built from pure B20 bronze, this suspended cymbal produces a distinctly dark sound with enhanced projection and quick response. The large-peen hammering and pinpoint lathing work together to create a rich shimmer that sustains elegantly, making the cymbal equally versatile for crash applications or traditional suspended cymbal rolls and swells.

Construction & Design

The raw hammered bell and HHX jumbo hammering pattern define this cymbal's character and performance. At approximately 1 kg and classified as medium-thin, the 16" size strikes an ideal balance between sensitivity and projection for ensemble work.
