Enjoy this review - AD FREE - thanks to UA-cam's copyright algorithm falsely flagging our video!
Gotta love it when UA-cam smokes too much herb. Best of luck guys.
they are so corrupt i hear ya
Well...it IS porn! Of a sort...! Ha ha ha!
That 18” Brilliant/Thin crash is absolute gold. What a beautiful shimmer.
Yesterday i tried 20-30 hats without watching any brand/ finish/ style size or price. The only hat that blew my mind right away was rhe 15“ hhx complex. Mission accomplished
These are probably the best sounding Sabians I've heard in years!! Great job Shane!!
Totally! 100 %
When I got the notification for this video and saw what you were reviewing, I literally heard myself make an "mmmm..." noise, like someone had just showed me the world's most delicious piece of cake.
Sabian owned 2019. Released the AAX during tax season and HHX before holidays with enough time to build hype. Brilliant. This company doesnt follow trends, it sets them. Nice demo guys, also cant wait to see all those Cymbal Vault selects you picked up XD
The complex!! If you could play the ocean that's what they sound like..love them!
I can honestly say there wasn’t one cymbal you hit in this demo that I didn’t like. Not one overly dry trash can lid in this lot. Me likey likey. I would definitely go for a set of the Complex.

I have the 14” Complex Hi Hats and that new horrible logo IS on the bottom of the bottom hi hat cymbal. Ugg. I hate it beyond hate. What the mess were they thinking?
@Joseph Dixon Even Zildjian doesn't put logos on the bottom of their Hihats cymbals and they're more notorious for having larger logos than Sabian. It seems either someone at Sabian knew the logo would be polarizing or early feedback forced their hand at placing it at the bottom. I know the comments were overwhelmingly negative in response to the first NAMM 2019 footage. It would be nice if Sabian reassessed changing the logo. The idea to streamline their catalog, however IS smart.
@Pizza Taco They do have to put the logo somewhere for trademarks purposes. Watch the newer Zildjian factory videos and you'll hear Paul Francis say that it isn't a Zildjian cymbal until the trademarked logo is applied.
The hhx complex series is hands down my favorite cymbal series ever! The 22 inch crash being my favorite cymbal of all time!Seriously I like them that much. Just my opinion though. Thanks so much Sabian!!
I had all Paiste 2002s I have since sold them all and Now own all HHX Complex, They are the sweetest cymbals I have ever heard, Just Amazing
@@billynolanjr2266 and the artisan hi hats are my favorite hi hats. Sabian is really on point.
The 22in HHX thin or medium??
I am a Paiste guy, but these are unbelievable!!!!
That 21" Thin Ride! Me drool all over my cellphone! Me talk like Cookie Monster...gimme cymbal!
Glad it’s only drool
So glad I can finally match up a pair of 18" AAX and HHX thin crashes in either traditional or brilliant finishes.
This is the closest thing to the ultimate and definitive cymbals sound. Amazing.
I've had the Complex 20" and 22" Crashes for about 3 weeks and I am in love...
I bought a complete kit of Complex cymbals with 15" HH 17 18 19 20 crashes and a 22 med ride in my hometown of Montreal. I play pretty solid rock and it was love at first hit! Thank you for this great video guys and all the other ones. 🇨🇦and DCP ROCK!
These complex cymbals are a winner. Can't wait to get a whole set. I think my 15" 2002 sound edge hi hats would sound amazing with these crashes.
That 12" tom sounds almost perfect. Is that an Emperor you've got on it there? I notice the 16" tom still has the factory Chinese-made Pinstripe, I bet it'd sound even better with an Emperor or Ambassador on it that would open it up more. Impressive body out of the snare for a 14"x5.5".
That complex set up sound really good!
I like them all. Wow!
I have a HHX evolution pack with 14"hats. 16" crash 20" Ride and a 18" ozone. Im going to be listening to alot of demos with these to see what I'm lacking in sound.
Sabian got it right with the complex line,I hope they bring out a great sounding light China type cymbal as well.
I would also love a dark trashy china.
They sure did. I’m getting mine just as soon as I get my last payment made to American musical supply. I tend to keep in debt to them lol
Cymbals are amazing, but that bass drum sound! 😮
Oh man that kit though...
Cymbals are gorgeous no question about it
The 20in medium crash sounds really good
the drumset the cymbal and most of all the drummer sounds awesome !
excellent !
I'm looking forward for an hhx xtreme crash 22".
The HHX Complex line is the TRUTH. I've integrated a few cymbals from this line into my setup in the last few months, The 22" Thin Crash, the 22" Thin Ride, and the 23" Medium Ride; and they're quite possibly the best drumming purchases I've ever made.
The 22" Thin Crash is a beast, and an absolute must-own. Far, and away the best crash I've ever played. Whether you're doing light taps, swells, builds, big hits, or even full-on washes, this cymbal will shine for you in just about any situation.
The 22" Thin Ride, while I can't exactly speak on how it functions as a ride cymbal, I can tell you it makes for a good crash. While a little less responsive than the 22" Thin Crash, it has a slightly warmer, and more consistent tone, allowing it to sit well in a mix while washing, which I like to do, a lot..
The 23" Medium is a little more lightweight than I would like, and doesn't have the most playable bell, as the hammer marks make it a little more difficult to make good contact, especially if your sticks are a little chewed up, but has pretty good stick definition on the bow, and is capable of being washed on. Though, I'm not sure I love the sound it makes. Overall, still a really good ride, and at the very least worth checking out.
When the reviewer doesn’t want to talk, and just wants to play, you can tell they’re feeling a product. I had a chance to hit some of these at my LDS yesterday and I think I spent 5 minutes tapping and crashing 4 or 5 of these and just wow. These cymbals will sell because wow the sound was so nice. Great demo once again Shane.
Really like the sound of all these cymbals.
Be a while till i can afford a brand new set. . One day .
Thanks Shane 👍
I don't know what I love more...these reviews...or your stunning goatee!
the complex cymbals sound killer and the demonstration of all them sounded even better!! i would so buy a pack of the complex cymbals if you made one :D
COMPLEX! The Pearl set was nice too. Not a fan of big hats or rides though. I currently use two 13 hats. Lighter cymbals open up quickly so you don't have to beat the crap out of them. One flick of the stick and it's maximum crash.
I'm a Paiste guy, but if I were to choose any of these cymbals, it would be the complex cymbals. That 16" sounds larger than its sound entails, probably due to its thinness and dark tones.
The ride sounded good. Didn't completely fall in love with any of the crashes. Though the HHX line probably has the best sound in their lineup. With the price of top of the line cymbals being what they are you better LOVE what they sound like. Paiste signature series for me all day. Best $2500 you can spend on cymbals if you ask me.
Right up there with the K sweet line.....which in my opinion is the best sounding cymbals on the market
Until the price tag of sabian cymbals is revealed. Almost as expensive as paiste 602. 560bux for a 22in ride is tooo much.
One of the best all around setups I’ve heard from your videos. Those cymbals sound great, I’m definitely in on the thin . For me I don’t like a gong sounding cymbal 👊
I really like that 16" thin. But the HHX click hats are the best!
the pitch variation between those crashes is pretty much perfect
Still bummed they discontinued the AAX dark crash series. Favorite "16 and "18 crashes ever. However, would like to try the new ones.
Blake Curtis true I always wanted an Aax dark crash in brilliant finish I was always fond of the 19” though
@Jeremy Sims Eyyyyy I talked Sabian with you on OfferUp once! Almost got your 20” Evolution but I ended up getting it elsewhere and got a 22” for Christmas too lol
Woo! suenan increíble, que sabroso sonido HHX Complex y Thin ricasos! 😍
Btw your channel is by far the best Drum Channel on YT.
Thanks so much, man. We try and get a little better with each video. We appeciate you watching.
Drum Center of Portsmouth videography lighting playing and choice of cymbals are very nice. Hopefully watching and subbing helps you because im in germany near Thomann the european big player so ordering from you is unfortunately not a choice 🥺
Awesome review! I just ordered the set :)
As a lifelong Paiste player, these are truly incredible sounding cymbals.
So much so, that I’ve bought myself a set. Great job Sabian.
The complex is a great line - I played the 18 last week at a local shop and the 'Artisan line' like qualities were right there with a touch more brightness when compared to the natural finishes. I was eager to try the 20 complex crash but it wasn't in stock - I think my 20 HH Vanguard crash would pair well with it. All around they sound great in this video! For anyone looking to get into the the Artisan line or pair with their existing these would be great as well. The first set had that high ear piercing trill where the complex had a smooth roll-off when hit with great velocity.
Eric Williams I’d get a 20” Xtreme crash over the Vanguard. Vanguard is very dry.
I’ve owned the vanguard for a few weeks already - tried a couple out and the one I have has a bit more bite then what I’ve heard elsewhere. It fits perfectly with the 22 legacy heavy ride - I will check out the xtreme as well!
Eric Williams Legacy is a great cymbal. I just found the Vanguard in person to sound different than recordings. Kinda like the Fierce crash. They sound so much better when recorded. Which is my main focus when looking at cymbals.
@@FanaticDrummer Absolutely and I'm of the same approach, it fits well in the mix for me - I was in Nashville when I bought it so I had to go with my best judgement. I'll check those two out as well! Thanks!
added a 23" complex medium ride....just absolutely gorgeous tones.
These thin cymbals are a Jazz/Big Band drummer's dream. Woooooow!
Big fan of complex. Have the 22” thin ride. Currently looking at 16 or 17” crash.
Man what a video! We came for the cymbals which are amazing, but that kit stole the show! 😅
ADDED THE 19" thin complex and it goes nice with my Evo 18" Ozone
Damn pearl kit looks fantastic. I love the HHX COMPLEX
The complex are my jam!
Sounds really awesome
They sound amazing and I'm a Zildjian and Paiste guy. Those hats and the rides sound perfect. They could blend into any rock or jazz situation well. But I'm losing my mind over those hi hats.
Great new crashes. Will check those out at the music store soon
I really like zildjian, like I’m a zildjian guy especially when it comes to vintage zildjians. But the Hhx complex are incredible and might be my favorite line of cymbals even above the k sweet series or the k dark thins.
That 18” thin crash is speaking to me.
For me the second set of cymbals w/the medium Ride and Hi Hat sounds the best!
I AGREE 100%! All sounded so beautiful!
Ok, now i'm really torn between those HHX Complex and the K Sweet.. Don't know what's best and unfortunately they're not easy to find where i live.
I was paiste But the HHX complex is simply amazing, Its the ultimate IMO
I play all zildjian A customs, but 14 in HHX evolution hats. Bottom hi hat on top though. Not as buttery that way I know, but the bottom hat cuts through more.
That Tom! Perfect!
They’re making the best bells in the biz babe. Bank on it. 😊😊
I own the evolution line and the paragon line, this sounds really good, they should have produced the whole line on both without cutting anything out!
That may be the finest sounding drum kit I’ve ever heard.
I really don’t care for the first set except for the high hats. The complex set is fantastic sounding.
would these be good/ loud enough in a live setting with an unmic’d kit? I play alt rock, indie, sometimes punk. If not any suggestions?
Yeah, the cymbals are fine but that kit sounds very awesome.
Love All HHX and All Sabian B20 alloy cymbals
proudly canadian. eh!
Proudly New Brunswicker haha!
@@do8671 Ehhhh bud
take off eh
Not that interested in the cymbals, but those drums are FANTASTIC! Gorgeous sound and color!
These sound great. How do you feel about the Paiste pst7 line?
kidgloves2 I’m gonna be getting them somewhat soon, I’ll let you how I think they are 🙂👍
OMG complex is amazing!
massive sounds!
So the Extremes go away from the HHX line? Makes sense with the release of the Complex which is nice, but not quite as "trashy" as the Extreme. I'm liking their "trimmed down" line-ups!
jmetz I don’t think the x-treme crashes are going away lol. I would definitely hope not
Hi i´m from Mexico i wonder if DCP makes shipments to my Country, cause i´m looking for the Sabian HHX Complex 14" hi hats and the 22" medium ride. Thank´s for the help.
Can anyone speak to the durability of the HHX Complex China (the one with holes)?
Thank you in advance for any feedback.
Really wish the bell on the 21 thin ride was more defined. Little too weak, been looking for a backup ride to my polyphonic ride and still haven’t found a 21 inch ride that has great crashability, washy but good stick def, and a strong defined bell, very hard to find all 3 of those characteristics, the polyphonic is literally the best and my favorite ride cymbal for achieving all 3 of those aspects of all time. Bought the sweet ride but the bell isn’t as defined and doesn’t crash as well as the polyphonic.
Hhx groove ride 21😉
These are decent indeed, except medium crash, it makes it clear why I never have really been liking sabians. But these knew models do not sound typically "sabian", you know. They really sound alright.
Sabian number one.
Sabian rocks!
Get mine this weekend😅😅😅
All of them please
How much for the lot of the Complex cymbals, Im sold!
I just wish they would do a ride in the hhx series that had a little more weight to it
I found that these sound like Paiste!! Possibly 602s or the Modern Essentials?
hhx is the best line
They’re gorgeous and all, but they don’t seem all that versatile considering how thin and delicate they sound.
Good Video
Am I the only one that likes the new logo?
I like it too. Never was a Sabian guy before I bought a complete set of those Complex cymbals :D Prefer this logo to the old one actually.
Nice video review. I’m not a big Sabian fan, but these sound nice.
Sold!
Fab!!
big fan of the crsh on the left, however the medium crash sounds as if, since it is heavier, it opens up a bit later after hitting it. could be a phasing issue though. won't know till I actually play them
thin is thinner than complex?
what mics are the tom mics?
Earthworks
Nice
The hhx complex sound exactly like the new Wuhan Koi series. Which is good. Just more great sounding cymbals out there. But it might hurt Sabian sales? Sorry for letting the word out!?
Damn!!!!!!
Thin cymbals can handle rock/metal? :)
If you hit them correctly, they can sound awesome. If you're a super-hard hitter, they won't last.
Still prefer the AAX"s ;)
Really? Not knocking you, just curious why you feel that way?
SHUT UP KIDDO ;)
Σταυρος Ελλας Guy asked kindly and you just tell him to shut up. What a trash.
Great video but I was hoping for the 22" complex thin crash would be in there..
really disappointed you didn't crash/swell the ride cymbals for people that crash their rides
smash that dislike button, Jeremy!
