Certain situations and songs call for rapid accenting to embellish the sound. Rocker Domingo “Sunny” Ortiz of Widespread Panic knows all about the impact a good sound signature can make. As one of the seven Sabian cymbals in Sunny’s set-up, he regularly uses his B8 Pro Mini Chinese to great effect while recording or rocking the house during a live show.
The B8 Mini Chinese has an immediate and aggressive attack that’s bright with a cutting “bite” to it. Part of the B8 Pro Series and a nice choice for beginning or intermediate drummers, the 14” Mini Chinese cymbal features a modern and advanced design at an affordable value price.
Interesting in its contemporary look and cutting sound personality, it adds new sound dimension to your kit. B8 Pro Chinese cymbals are played for effect and feature an upturned edge that gives each one a raw, Oriental sound characteristic. The thin weight yields a mid to high pitch. B8 Pro cymbals are precision crafted using a rapid-tech process called virtual cloning where they are created from master templates to form the consistently bright, focused, and effective sounds of more expensive cymbals.
The B8 bronze alloy is fully hammered and totally lathed. The brilliant finish is created by a high-pressure, high-heat polishing process that smoothes the groove edges of the tonal rings, resulting in a smoother, glassier look and sound.
