SABIAN 20" HHX Synergy Medium Single
The 20" HHX Synergy Medium captures attack with a warm, dark tone that responds immediately to playing dynamics. Large peen hammering and SABIAN's Touch Response design create a cymbal that cuts through the mix while maintaining definition—a balance that tracks cleanly across the full range from delicate playing to hard hits. This single cymbal works as a standalone studio piece or integrates seamlessly into existing kit setups across all production styles.
Construction & Design
Cast from B20 bronze alloy in Brilliant finish, this cymbal features extensive large peen hammering that shapes its tonal character. The Touch Response design directly enhances how the cymbal cuts in a mix while preserving articulation and clarity, giving the HHX Synergy its distinctive ability to sit in the pocket while remaining audible in dense arrangements.
Tone & Recording Versatility
The dark, balanced tonal character records well across genres—from rock and pop sessions to jazz, funk, and hybrid arrangements. Quick response and rounded articulation make this cymbal effective for tight drum takes, dynamic playing requiring punch and sensitivity, and overdubs that need both definition and musicality. It performs equally well in intimate studio settings and full-band recording scenarios.
