Featured B8X Cymbals
B8X 20″ Rock Ride
Clean and solid sticking with a crisp, solid bell deliver total clarity at all volumes to the SABIAN 20″ B8X Rock Ride. Precision formed, hammered and lathed for pure, tonally tight sounds, B8X is the bright, cutting sound of pure Bronze…at a low price that makes your first move into this precious metal an easy one.
B8X 18″ Ballistic Crash
Utilizing a completely new hammer peen and hammering technique, the 18″ B8X Ballistic Crash is a thin model that delivers funky, aggressive attack, fully capable of creating high-pitched mayhem while remaining musical. Not unlike a higher pitched HHX X-Treme Crash, the extra-larrge hammering pattern from the bottom creates a flexible cymbal that is more responsive and opens up quickly and easily. It also results in a pitch bend that is shaped upward, making for a trashy crash that is more than happy to go fully ballistic!
B8X 14″ Hats
Crisp and lively stick and pedal responses are very bright and articulate, making the SABIAN 14″ B8X Hi-Hats clean and penetrating models that deliver tight, bright sounds. Precision formed, hammered and lathed for pure, tonally tight sounds, B8X is the bright, cutting sound of pure Bronze … at a low price that makes your first move into this precious metal an easy one.
