Sabian’s Bronze Beginnings series is very appropriately named. Bronze is the ultimate metal for cymbals, and this cymbal is the perfect way to acclimate yourself to the world of precision-crafted B8 bronze cymbals.

Highly affordable for all school band and orchestra programs, Sabian’s B8 Band cymbal is fully hammered and lathed to capture the focused and penetrating sounds usually associated with more expensive cymbals. It features a bright sound with a mid to high pitch and a medium to heavy weight design that’s easily controllable by younger percussionists. The raw, natural finish goes beyond just looking good. The finish also relates to and influences the sound.

The cymbal is totally lathed (the process where tonal rings are cut into the playing surface) and left in its “natural” state. That’s just what you want when defined tone and some extra “bite” are desired in your personal musical sound.

Sabian combines traditional expertise and skilled craftsmanship to create modern and innovative cymbals following a simple premise…that drummers deserve the very best cymbals. No wonder Hall of Fame drummers Neil Peart of Rush and Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater along with other percussion greats the world over choose Sabian cymbals to help create and facilitate their unique and legendary sound.
