@@mujiwaranojerry thanks so much for the support! That snare drum is the Mapex Black Panther Design Lab 'Heartbreaker' and it is one of my favorites :)
I've got to commend Josh on his presentation and description of the cymbals. Excellent! Short, sweet, simple. Got me to hit that subscribe button. I recently purchased a 21 inch HHX thin ride that has been working nicely in both some small jazz group settings as well as my gig with a country singer/songwriter. I'm digging the HHX line for sure. Stay safe and healthy everyone, I'm sending positive vibes to all for better times and more live music gigs! Keep swinging/groove'in/thrashing/rocking/or whatever genre your playing!!!! All Good Things!!!!
I have the evo ride, as well as a 22" medium comp ride. The evo is much more scooped, with a high end shimmer, and a clearer bell. The 22 is darker, much more complex, with a super funky bell, and a super smooth crash. It takes quite a hit to open up, but sounds amazing once it does. The comp ride is the sexier of the two. The evo ride also works amazing as a medium crash.
I love the 20” Evolution ride as a crash. It’s perfect. But the 22” Evolution ride is just unreal. It feels SO GOOD to play...both as a ride and when you crash it. The Complex line are much more....buttery lol. Smoother, sexier. I have the 23” Medium and 22” Thin ride and they’re both sexy as hell!
Great presentation! I have both of these rides in 22", and they're the two that I oscillate between most. I ended up ordering a 21" Fierce ride just to kind of break it up a bit. :D
Shopping the used market between these 2 and because the complex is fairly new the price difference was over $100 so I went with Evolution and saved a few dollars. If they were same price I would of probably went with complex.
I have a 22" medium complex ride and 16"/18" complex thin crashes with 15" complex hats. I'm thinking about grabbing one of these to alternate between rides. You think it'll match well with the complexes I have now?
I used to have that cymbal. I really miss it. I'd pair it up as a main crash with my 20" medium Artisan if I still had it. My playing style has changed and I miss my Evolution.
Depends on the music you want to play. The Paiste Rude is going to have more body and thickness overall within the cymbal. The HHX Complex still has some body, but I think is still lighter and has more crash-ability than a Rude.
@@denverpercussion great answer thanks. I think I play more rock and the rude fit perfect with my style but the hhx sounds great =( and I saw some hard core bads choose because the dark bell.
nice, great to hear a fine dynamic player demo a cymbal...
Earl, thanks so much for the kind words. We try our best :)
The 20" HHX Evolution ride has my best taste.
There you go!!
Both cymbals are great, but man, I love how ur snare sounds
Mapex Black Panther 'Heartbreaker' Design Lab baby! 14x6" - Mahogany Shell
Im about to coment that, that snare is the best snare sound that I've ever heard
Would you please share with us your snare?

I’m sorry, I was just going to say the same thing…
Great video! I'd love to hear a comparison video with the HHX 20" Complex Medium and the HHX 20" Complex thin.

The 23 & 22 is a groovy combination!

Excellent review/demo btw!
Thanks so much Eric! Let us know if you have any questions or if you'd like to hear any other comparisons!
That hhx evolution i tried in the store. It sounded amazing. Wish i bought it
I use both the 20" and 21" evolution on my set. I love them both. I keep looking for something to replace my 21" but haven't found anything yet
I like the sound of the evo but the looks of the complex. May have to get both!! 😁
Would love to know the tuning on the black panther and what snare wedge you're using.
Seems to me the HHX complex has a more defined ping to it.
I’ve got the HHX 21 groove ride in a brilliant finish…. The best all round ride
Shopping the used market between these 2 and because the complex is fairly new the price difference was over $100 so I went with Evolution and saved a few dollars. If they were same price I would of probably went with complex.

Hi, can I ask what is that cross stick accessory on your snare called?
GruvX X Click! I have a link to what we have in stock below:

Complex...love it😊
Super explanation. Very well done. Subscribing now.
I used to have that cymbal. I really miss it. I'd pair it up as a main crash with my 20" medium Artisan if I still had it. My playing style has changed and I miss my Evolution.
Snare sounds great. What is it?
Which crash is that?
Between the hhx complex medium and the paiste rude crash ride 20"
Wich is better ?
Thanks for your help.

Hhx complex all the way
dude, what is that sabian hh crash?
I believe it was an 18" Sabian HH Med Thin Crash
In this recording the Evolution sounds better.
Hola, me gusto más la Serie Evolution
ToDAAYY?!?!
Can we help you?
Evolution it’s ugly, complex it’s beautiful
Ride cymbals are girls. ...
