Leave it to the expert cymbal makers at Sabian to come up with this affordable winner. Like two cymbals in one, the B8 China Splash is the integration of a splash and china with a reverse, invertible design.
It produces raw, punchy accents you can use to punctuate your musical sound scheme. Mount it upside down atop your crash to enhance its splashy response and distinguishable sound characteristics. Like more expensive cymbals, Sabian’s extra thin and fast acting B8 China Splash is expertly crafted from start to finish. No minor detail is overlooked.
Cutting the raw, dark surface away from a cymbal to reveal the bright bronze beneath is one of the great arts of cymbal making. But Sabian cymbal makers are masters of the art, creating modern and innovative cymbals that attract the attention of drummers known and not so well known.
It takes experience, focus and a deft touch to cut grooves into a spinning cymbal. Even cutting the metal to the correct thickness takes great skill. The B8 bronze alloy is fully hammered and totally lathed to ensure quality, consistency and reliability. The natural finish also affects the sound and is the drummer’s choice when tone and an extra touch of “bite” are desired.
