Description

The Sabian HHX 22″ Complex Big Cup Ride is ideal for drummers who want defined articulation with a rich, musical wash across dynamic styles. Built using the proven HHX Complex dual-hammered construction, it creates a warm, layered sound with excellent stick clarity. The standout feature, the Big Cup bell?is both taller and wider than standard bells, giving clear separation and powerful punch when struck. This makes it easy to distinguish between bell and bow, opening up expressive options during performance.

With its medium weight and profile, the cymbal balances control with spread. Crash on the edge for a wide, textured wash or ride the bow for smooth definition. Hand-hammering across the cymbal, including the HHX-specific treatment on the bow, deepens its tonal palette while keeping things musically versatile.

Sabian

Sabian is one of the world’s leading cymbal manufacturers, known for combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Founded in 1981 by Robert Zildjian after the famous split in the Zildjian family, Sabian quickly established itself as a major force in cymbal design. Based in Canada, the brand built its reputation by working closely with drummers and constantly evolving its sound, rather than sticking rigidly to tradition.

Sabian cymbals are known for their versatility, offering everything from bright, cutting models for rock and metal to darker, more complex tones suited to jazz and studio work. Popular ranges include AA, AAX, HH, and HHX, each designed to deliver different tonal characteristics, from modern projection to vintage warmth. Sabian also produces a wide variety of effects cymbals, splash cymbals, chinas, and stacks, allowing drummers to expand their sound and create unique textures.

What Sabian does particularly well is giving drummers choice and control. Their cymbals respond consistently, project clearly, and sit well in a mix, whether live or in the studio. For drummers looking to shape their own sound with a wide palette of tones and modern design, Sabian remains one of the most flexible and forward-thinking cymbal brands available.
