22 HHX Omni by Sabian

Sabian has introduced a groundbreaking cymbal called the Omni, in collaboration with the incredible Jojo Mayer. The goal of the Omni was to create a cymbal with exceptional sonic contrast, whether played alone or in combination with other cymbals. Jojo Mayer, a Swiss-born drummer with a diverse musical background ranging from jazz to drum ‘n’ bass/electronica/jungle, played with bands like Screaming Headless Torsos and his own Nerve, has endorsed Sabian for a long time. According to Mayer, the Omni opens up new possibilities for playing cymbals, offering unparalleled sonic versatility in just one cymbal. The Omni features a medium-weight center and an extra-thin, natural finish edge, giving it a striking appearance and a highly musical tone structure. The cymbal excels in various musical settings, providing dark, throaty undertones for jazz rhythms and clear bell tones for funk and Latin grooves. It also responds well to brushes and mallets, producing orchestral beauty.

HHX cymbals from Sabian offer a dark, tonally complex sound that stands out in any situation, thanks to their high-profile shape, large raw bell, and jumbo-sized hammering. These cymbals combine the warmth and darkness of HH cymbals with a modern edge, ensuring they are heard and felt in modern musical settings. HHX cymbals are favored by top drummers like Tomas Haake, Jojo Mayer, Karl Brazil, Brian Frasier Moore, Mark Guiliana, Dom Famularo, Chris Dave, and Mike Portnoy, for their ability to inspire great playing and provide a dynamic, dark sound that stands out on stage.

The HHX Omni is a popular choice among drummers for its simmering Modern Dark tone at all volumes. Drummers like Tomas Haake, Dom Famularo, and Mike Portnoy appreciate the versatility and darkness of HHX cymbals, which allow them to explore new musical territories and be heard in any performance setting. The HHX Omni, made from Sabian’s B20 Cast Alloy, goes through a meticulous process of shaping, hammering, lathing, and aging in the Sabian Vault, ensuring optimal sound quality. The launch of the HHX Omni took the sonic properties of the AAX Omni to a new level, offering even more nuanced tones on the ride surface and the ability to play with the shoulder for added texture and dimension.

In conclusion, the Sabian HHX Omni cymbal is a game-changer in the world of cymbals, offering unparalleled sonic contrast and versatility for drummers of all styles. Whether played alone or in combination with other cymbals, the HHX Omni delivers a dark, dynamic sound that cuts through any musical setting with ease.
