SABIAN 23" HHX Complex Medium Ride

SABIAN 23" HHX Complex Medium Ride

The 23" HHX Complex Medium Ride delivers a warm, articulate response with commanding presence and controlled projection. Its hand-hammered raw bell produces rich lows and tonal complexity that cuts through a mix without harshness, holding up equally well in jazz, fusion, and contemporary styles on stage. This is one of SABIAN's richest and sweetest ride cymbals, built for drummers who demand depth and versatility in a workhorse cymbal.

Tone & Character

The combination of HH and HHX hammering techniques paired with a hand-hammered raw bell brings out the lower frequencies and harmonic complexity that define this cymbal's signature voice. The result is a deeply musical ride that balances wash and definition, holding its own in straight-ahead swing through contemporary fusion—reliable night after night.

Construction & Materials

Hand-crafted from B20 Bronze and manufactured in Canada, this ride features precision pin-point lathing that refines the sonic character and responsiveness. The 3085-gram weight provides substantial stick definition while maintaining smooth wash characteristics across dynamic ranges, making it road-tested for live performance and studio work alike.
