Sabian B8 Cymbals

Do you want to start your drumming career on the right equipment? Are you looking for your first set of cymbals? Do you want to find great quality without spending a bundle on something you’ll end up replacing? Then the Sabian B8 cymbal line is the perfect line for you.

B8 cymbals are designed with beginning drummers in mind. B8 cymbals are made from B8 alloy, which means that the bronze alloy is composed of 8% tin and 92% copper. Because these drums are softer, they’re easier to play because they don’t respond as quickly as drums made of a harder alloy – a good thing when you hit a couple sour notes at your first show.

Yvette “Babygirl” Preyer is one of the best known professional drummers who use B8 cymbals. Though she’s been touring with Michael McDonald for the last five years, Preyer has played with India Arie, Toni Braxton and Carly Simon. Preyer uses 10” B8 Splash cymbal.

B8 cymbals are made to fit in the mid to high tone range of pitch. They’re finished naturally, which means that they have more bite than cymbals with brilliant finish while providing a resonant sound. B8 cymbals are one of the best Sabian lines to use when looking for a bright cymbal set.

The B8 line is part of Sabian’s Bronze Beginnings series, which keeps beginning drummers’ needs in mind during the design process. With B8 lines to practice on, you’ll be moving to the professional levels in no time at all!
