SABIAN 10" HHX Complex Aero Splash

SABIAN 10" HHX Complex Aero Splash

This splash delivers quick, sharp accents with surprising punch despite its extra thin weight. The combination of HHX and HH hammering with 10 rows of Aero holes creates a responsive cymbal that cuts through without overwhelming the kit. The natural EQ curve enhances highs and lows while reducing mids, allowing this cymbal to sit perfectly in any mix.

Recording & Mix Placement

The dark timbre and soft volume make this splash ideal for controlled, articulate work that translates cleanly to tape or digital recording. Its raw hammered bell contributes definition while the medium/loose feel ensures quick decay and clarity on every strike—essential for layered production and overdubbing sessions.

Design & Build

The 10-inch diameter sits in the compact splash family, while 1/2-inch Aero holes precisely engineered across 10 rows reduce weight and enhance responsiveness. This construction method allows the cymbal to breathe dynamically while maintaining articulation across the dynamic range.
