Description

Sabian HHX OMNI 22 Inch Ride Cymbal (122OMX)

The HHX OMNI 22 is built for players who demand versatility from a single ride—its dual-surface design rewards both center and shoulder strikes with distinctly different sonic character. Developed alongside drummer Jojo Mayer, this ride cuts through a live mix with clarity while maintaining musicality that resonates in your hands. Center strikes deliver definition for traditional ride work; shoulder hits unlock washy, atmospheric textures. One cymbal, two distinct voices.

Tone & Character

A dark sound profile combined with the dual-surface design gives you uncommon range—the medium un-lathed center produces a defined, cutting tone that locks into your groove, while the thin outer area offers washy, atmospheric wash characteristics. This contrast lets you explore textural nuance within a single cymbal, giving you expressive control across different musical contexts.

Construction & Response

Cast from B20 bronze with a medium bell and extra thin edge, the cymbal responds to your touch with sensitivity to stick dynamics. The thin edge articulates quickly under precision playing, while the medium bell provides enough mass for controlled sustain and definition on accented notes. Live reliability meets responsive feel.

How does the B20 bronze and thin edge construction affect the feel?
