SABIAN 18" HHX Synergy Medium

SABIAN 18" HHX Synergy Medium Pair

The 18" HHX Synergy Medium pair captures a warm, dark tone with quick attack and responsive decay across the full dynamic range. Large peen hammering and SABIAN's proprietary "Touch Response" design deliver articulate stick definition and natural projection, making these cymbals sit cleanly in a mix while cutting through without harshness. This pairing works across multiple recording and performance contexts, from overdub sessions to live ensembles.

Construction & Design

Cast from B20 bronze with a Brilliant finish, these medium-weight cymbals feature the large peen hammering characteristic of the HHX Synergy series. The Touch Response design controls how the cymbals respond to stick impact and microphone placement, directly affecting how quickly they speak and how they translate through recording chains and live systems.

Tone & Recording Character

The dark, modern sound offers rounded articulation with minimal wash, ideal for recording sessions where cymbal definition matters. These cymbals balance soft and loud playing with equal ease, capturing clear transients during quiet passages while handling aggressive dynamics without distortion or unwanted sustain. They work effectively in isolation for overdub work and blend seamlessly in stereo pair configurations for full-kit captures.
