Description
SABIAN 19" HHX Complex O-Zone Crash
This crash cuts through with a quick, aggressive character that sits dark and explosive in your mix. The 19" size gives you projection without sacrificing control, responding predictably under moderate to heavy stick work. The combination of HH and HHX hammering with a raw hammered bell produces complex overtones that keep the attack aggressively smooth while maintaining a trashy, aggressive bite.
Tone & Acoustic Character
The HHX Complex line delivers dark, raw, and aggressive response with complex overtones that stay clear during rapid cymbal passages. The distinctive 2" O-Zone hole design shapes the decay and gives this cymbal its sonic signature, cutting through the way you need in styles that demand attitude and edge.
Construction & Materials
Cast from B20 bronze in Canada, this cymbal weighs 1294 grams and carries thin weight classification, giving you faster response and easier articulation compared to heavier options. The traditional finish and precision hammering deliver the depth and complexity that define the HHX Complex series.
