Sabian HHX OMNI 19 Inch Ride Cymbal (119OMX)
The HHX OMNI 19" Ride delivers a versatile, articulate cymbal with a characterful bell and responsive edge that cuts through in live and studio settings. Its dual-surface design makes it equally comfortable handling crisp stick definition and warm wash, striking a practical balance between definition and sustain. This cymbal rewards controlled dynamics and precise striking technique with predictable, musical responses across its playing surface.
Sonic Character & Playability
The medium un-lathed center produces a defined, punchy bell tone suitable for traditional ride articulation and comping, while the thin outer area opens up into a shimmering wash that sustains without overwhelming the mix. The extra thin edge combines brightness with responsiveness, making it easier to achieve clean stick attacks and control wash volume through hand positioning.

The deliberate balance of lathed and un-lathed surfaces contributes to its dual-purpose design, allowing drummers to work with one ride across multiple musical contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the HHX OMNI different from a standard ride cymbal?
The HHX OMNI uses a dual-surface design with a medium un-lathed center for punchy, defined stick articulation and a thin outer area that opens into a shimmering wash. This combination lets you use one cymbal for both traditional ride duties and contemporary wash applications, with the extra-thin edge making it easier to control dynamics and achieve clean stick attacks.
Is this cymbal suitable for rock and jazz?
Yes. The HHX OMNI is designed for rock, jazz, studio sessions, and live performance. Its articulate bell handles crisp stick definition for comping, while the responsive wash works well for contemporary applications. The medium weight and responsive characteristics make it comfortable across these genres.
What skill level should I have to play this cymbal effectively?
This cymbal is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional drummers. It rewards controlled dynamics and precise striking technique, so drummers comfortable with hand positioning and dynamic control will get the most predictable, musical responses from its playing surface.
What materials is this cymbal made from?
The HHX OMNI is built from B20 bronze—a premium alloy of bronze, tin, and silver—which delivers tonal complexity and durability expected from Sabian's pro-level HHX line. The deliberate balance of lathed and un-lathed surfaces contributes to its dual-purpose design.
Would this work well in extreme metal or punk?
