Description
Sabian 10" HHX Splash Brilliant Finish
The 10" HHX Splash cuts through the mix with fast, biting attack and rapid decay—a cymbal built to punch through in live settings with penetrating projection and simmering Modern Dark tone. Hand-hammered from premium B20 bronze, this splash generates musical dirt and agitated bite across all playing dynamics, staying articulate and present whether you're driving a packed room or laying into it in rehearsal. The brilliant finish amplifies the cymbal's visual presence on stage while maintaining the dark, complex character HHX is known for.
Tone & Projection
Built with HHX Tone Projection design, this splash delivers simmering heat and musical grit that cuts without sacrificing the dark, colourful character players demand. The rapid decay rate maximizes attack definition—essential for keeping your articulation clean in busy arrangements—while the thick, unturned bell adds body and punch to every strike, making this cymbal reliable in both intimate club gigs and high-volume venues.
Construction & Feel
Hand-hammered B20 bronze construction delivers the tonal complexity and durability you can trust night after night on the road, while the brilliant glossy finish provides both stage presence and a smooth, responsive playing surface. The somewhat thicker bell design contributes to the cymbal's projection and sustain characteristics, distinguishing it from lighter splash alternatives and giving you more control in faster passages.
