SABIAN 22" HHX COMPLEX BIG CUP RIDE

The 22" HHX Complex Big Cup Ride delivers articulate definition across its playing zones, with a pronounced separation between bell and bow that rewards precise striking technique. The medium weight construction balances responsiveness with projection, making this cymbal approachable for extended sessions without sacrificing cut and presence. Built on the proven tonal foundation of the HHX Complex series, this ride offers versatility across multiple musical contexts.

Tone & Character

The Big Cup design with extra height and width creates distinct sonic regions: a crisp, defined stick sound on the bow, a warm wash with nice spread when crashed on the edge, and an articulated bell strike that punches through the mix. This tonal separation allows each playing area to be pronounced boldly and independently.

Construction & Build

Hand hammered entirely throughout with the dual HHX hammering protocol applied to the bow, this cymbal leverages B20 bronze alloy for classic warmth and complexity. The labor-intensive hammering process creates the tonal character and responsiveness that define the HHX Complex series.
