Frequently Asked Questions

HHX Complex uses a blend of hammering styles, resulting in a more layered and nuanced sound compared to single-hammering methods, creating a more complex overtone series.
It's a medium-weight ride, offering a good balance between articulation and a full, washy sound – not too thin, not overly heavy.
While the warm tone is a strength, blending them might require some careful mic’ing and EQ to avoid clashing with brighter cymbals; consider their tonal character carefully.
