SABIAN 14" HHX Complex Medium Hats

SABIAN 14" HHX Complex Medium Hi-Hat Cymbals

The HHX Complex Medium Hats deliver a solid foot with exceptional control, combining a responsive Medium top with a Heavy bottom for balanced articulation and defined closure. This pairing produces a dark cut when closed and a rich, sizzling tone across dynamic playing, making them responsive to both subtle techniques and aggressive hits. SABIAN's proprietary hammering approach and raw bell design create one of the most tonally complex hi-hat pairs in the HHX lineup, built to handle everything from controlled jazz phrasing to hard rock aggression.

Tone & Construction

The combination of HH and HHX hammering with a raw bell design brings out the lows and tonal complexity characteristic of the HHX Complex series. The Medium top over Heavy bottom configuration establishes a solid foot with excellent definition when closed while delivering a fat, sizzling tone throughout the dynamic range. On stage, these hats cut through a live mix with authority while remaining articulate enough for intricate playing and fast closures.

Specifications & Materials

Crafted from B20 Bronze, these cymbals feature precision weight distribution with a 900-gram top and 1200-gram bottom, engineered to produce the dark, complex character SABIAN developed through its Evolution, Legacy, and Artisan cymbal lines. This weight pairing ensures both articulate stick definition and rich harmonic sustain, with the durability drummers depend on for touring and regular gigging.
