Sabian ZZP124X HHX 24" Prototype Complex Medium Ride

Up for grabs is this extremely rare, Sabian HHX 24” Complex Ride prototype, from the Sabian Vault. Warm, rich, dark without being too dry. This has been constructed with a raw bell, which offers a defined, dark cut. This is a lovely ride cymbal that also sounds natural as a crash, without any glaring ride overtones.

This is what Sabian would say, had they gone to market with this cymbal:
Using trickle down technology gleaned from years of developing some of the world’s top selling cymbals lines like Evolution, Legacy, and even Artisan, SABIAN introduced the HHX Complex, line of exquisitely dark Ride cymbals. The 24” Complex Medium Ride employs a combination of HH and HHX hammering, a raw hammered bell, and a number of the aforementioned proprietary techniques – resulting in one of the richest, sweetest Ride cymbals SABIAN has ever produced. The 24” Complex Medium ride is big, thin and dark – with a medium-size hand-hammered raw bell – a combination that brings out the lows and complexities of this cymbal’s tone. The versatility to easily cross musical styles has always been a hallmark of the HHX line, and the 24” Ride is no exception.
