Your introduction to great cymbals starts and ends with Sabian. So move your drumming skills and passion to the next stage and start making a name for yourself.
The B8 18” Crash Ride is the ideal and logical place to begin your musical journey into the world of bronze cymbals. It’s just one cymbal, but it gives you the confidence to play with some attitude and, even better, you’ll find so many ways to use it musically and creatively.
An exceptional, and exceptionally priced crash/ride, it’s the main cymbal for playing rhythms and grooves while gigging or jamming. Play the bell area for bright, crisp notes or strike it across the bow for bigger sounds. A true multi-purpose ride, it blends explosive crash power with full, wide open ride response. The B8 Crash Ride is intended to be played hard and designed to consistently deliver the brilliantly powerful sounds that high volume, high intensity music demands.
Often considered the ultimate cymbal metal, bronze delivers very bright, clean and penetrating sonic characteristics across a wide variety of musical forms. Sabian’s precision crafted crashes feature many of the same design elements as more expensive cymbals including dimpled hammered detail and a fully lathed playing surface.
Heavy hitters like Rush’s Neil Peart, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith and Incubus’ Jose Pasillas not only endorse Sabian cymbals, they make Sabian cymbals a trusted part of their performance kit. Now you can too.
