Sabian 22" HHX Sonic Surge Pang Cymbal

The Sabian HHX Sonic Surge takes the pang cymbal format and pushes it toward something bigger and more expressive. At 22 inches, this is not a subtle effect cymbal. It's a fully hand-hammered, thin B20 bronze instrument with a dark, low-pitched voice that opens up fast and moves a serious amount of air. Hit it with a stick and you get explosive accents with a sustain that surges and blooms rather than cutting off abruptly. Play it with mallets and it gradually opens into a wide, dark wash that works just as well in an orchestral setting as it does behind a drum kit. That kind of range across playing contexts is not something every cymbal in this category can claim.

HHX Construction

The HHX series has been Sabian's flagship professional line for a reason, and the Sonic Surge reflects that standard. The cymbal is cast from B20 bronze, the same alloy used across Sabian's top-tier offerings, and every inch of it is hand-hammered, which gives the surface its complex, responsive character. The thin weight and medium-loose feel keep the cymbal responsive at lower volumes while still delivering the headroom to handle loud, dense musical environments. Whether you're playing a rock gig, a contemporary ensemble, or anything in between, the Sonic Surge holds up across the dynamic range.
