The Sabian HHX Complex Performance Set is a professional-grade collection of cymbals from the acclaimed HHX Complex series, designed for drummers who seek a rich, dark, and highly versatile sound that can cross multiple musical genres.1 This set is celebrated for its unique tonal complexity, blending the best characteristics of Sabian's HH (Hand Hammered) and HHX (Tone Projection) lines.2
Signature HHX Complex Sound and Technology
The unique sonic signature of the HHX Complex line is achieved through advanced, proprietary manufacturing techniques:
B20 Bronze: Like all professional Sabian cymbals, they are crafted from pure B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin), known for its complex and musical tonality.4
Dual Hammering: The cymbals feature a combination of HH (traditional deep, large hammering) and HHX (pinpoint, smaller hammering) techniques.5 This blending of hammering styles is key to achieving their rich, dark, and complex sound while still having the projection and cut the HHX series is known for.6
Raw Bell: The medium-sized bells are typically left raw (un-lathed and sometimes un-finished) and hand-hammered, which helps focus the stick sound and adds a level of complexity and darkness to the overall tone.7
Sonically Matched: All Sabian box sets are "Sonically Matched" in the Sabian Vault, ensuring that the three cymbals complement each other tonally right out of the box.8
