SABIAN HHX Complex Performance Set

SABIAN HHX Complex Performance Set

The HHX Complex Performance Set captures exquisitely dark, rich tones with consistent responsiveness across your dynamic playing range. This three-piece configuration—responsive hi-hat pair, versatile crash, and medium ride—sits beautifully in any mix and adapts to multiple recording contexts without compromise. The combination of HH and HHX hammering techniques produces some of the sweetest cymbal voices SABIAN has developed, translating directly into recordings that sit forward without harshness.

Tone & Character

Built from B20 Bronze with raw hammered bells and proprietary technology, these cymbals produce complex, low-end resonance paired with controlled projection—critical for tracking in tight spaces or capturing tight, focused cymbal tones. The 19" Complex Thin Crash delivers rich, sweet articulation that cuts through a mix, while the 22" Complex Medium Ride generates a big, full tone with substantial overtone depth, allowing you to ride and crash on a single cymbal during recording sessions.

Construction & Setup

The 15" Complex Medium Hi-hat pairs a medium top cymbal (1026g) with a heavy bottom cymbal (1431g), generating solid foot definition and articulate response at all dynamics—essential for clean, controllable hi-hat recordings. Individual cymbal weights—19" Crash at 1451g and 22" Ride at 2784g—provide the mass needed for projection and sustain that records with natural presence and depth.
