SABIAN 12″ HHX Evolution Splash Brilliant Finish
The HHX Evolution Splash cuts through dense mixes with penetrating projection and rapid decay, delivering bright, fast articulation across all dynamic levels. This 12″ splash combines simmering dark tones with agitated bite, sitting distinctly in recordings without muddying surrounding elements. The responsive, extra-thin construction makes this cymbal equally effective in studio sessions and live performance.
Tone & Projection
Built with Sabian Tone Projection design, this splash generates more simmering heat and musical complexity than conventional models while maintaining clarity at lower volumes—critical for capturing nuanced cymbal articulation during overdubs. The Modern Dark character provides controlled darkness without losing definition—a signature balance of the HHX Evolution series that translates well across mixing and mastering.
Construction & Materials
Crafted from B20 alloy and machine hammered for tonal precision, the extra-thin weight profile (366 grams) enables the rapid response and decay essential to splash work, ensuring quick note separation in layered drum recordings. The brilliant finish adds visual presence alongside the cymbal’s cutting acoustic character that records with clarity and definition.
