Sabian HHX Red Light: Made for the Studio
The HHX Red Light series delivers rich, dark, and smoky tones complemented by a clear, shimmering top end—perfect for modern studio environments where cymbals must blend seamlessly into the mix. With a smooth, expressive feel and a dynamically responsive character, these cymbals stand out as a top choice for recording artists seeking depth and nuance.
Available in four larger sizes—18", 19", 20", and 22"—each model is carefully voiced for musical compatibility. When played together, their distinct voices blend effortlessly, revealing a cohesive and expressive tonal palette.
"We wanted to design a cymbal that bridged the gap between an Artisan and an AAX," says Todd Sucherman. "What we came up with is the HHX Red Light line… designed for all genres of music that would particularly shine in the recording studio environment."
