19_HHX_Omni_N_1When Sabian introduced the AAX Omni in 2010, the company brought never-before-seen sonic contrast and versatility to one cymbal. With the launch of the new HHX Omni, Jojo Mayer and Sabian have built on those same sonic properties. Although both the AAX and HHX deliver good contrast and versatility, the new dark Omni offers a couple of new dimensions. It provides more nuanced tone on the ride surface. This means the stick sound stays a safe distance from the body, refusing to get swallowed up no matter how loudly it’s played. It adds the dimension of playing with the shoulder, which not only has a wonderful texture, but which also excites more of the cymbal’s body without activating the crash. These properties are a direct result of the HHX hammering.
