A Surge of Dark Energy
Bridging the gap between ride and effects cymbal exclusivity, the Sabian HHX Sonic Surge is a unique pang-style cymbal that will bring a wealth of dark and distinct textures to your kit. Crafted to a thin profile from a lush foundation of B20 bronze and Sabian’s meticulous hand-hammering process, the Sonic Surge immediately makes its presence known with the dark, low-pitched voice that Sabian’s HHX series is so revered for. Its loud demeanor and surging sustain create incredible stick-patterned washes that explode into the mix with ease, while mallet rolling gradually extracts a deeper, almost ominous character. Timekeepers here at Sweetwater have found that its dynamic sensitivity and highly expressive nature will thrive within many sonic settings, from unique jazz and experimental tones to high-intensity rock, metal, and beyond.
