Manufacturer's Description for Sabian B8 Performance Set Cymbal Pack

Sabian has a mission. To ensure the cymbals you play are the very best possible. With 8 series to choose from and hundreds of models and sizes from which to select, there is every cymbal you could possibly want... and more. Sabian quality is the key throughout.

Cymbals Included:
14 in. hi-hats

16 in. crash

20 in. ride

When the initial pouring of molten bronze was cooled, rolled and hammered to create the first Sabian cymbal in 1982, little did the world realize what a formidable success Sabian Ltd. would become. For those familiar with Sabian's dedication to producing the finest instruments possible, this rapid rise in popularity came as no surprise.

Within a decade, cymbals, gongs, and percussion instruments bearing the Sabian ringed logo were the choice of many of the world's leading drummers and percussionists. Today, Phil Collins, Jack DeJohnette, Chad Smith, Mike Portnoy, Evelyn Glennie, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, the Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps, and many more major players are members of the international family of drummers and percussionists affiliated with Sabian.

Sabian's cymbals are crafted with an unparalleled degree of musical quality from the purest and most durable bronze alloys and offered at the fairest possible prices, ensuring acceptance and satisfaction with players of all styles of music and all budget levels. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Sabian products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (85 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Good sound, excellent value!"
Sound: Excellent value for a complete cymbal pack. The B8's sound pretty balanced. The hats are a little high-pitched and slightly harsh, but give a pretty wide range of responses from the closed chick to the wide open hits. They are better than I anticipated, and much better than what I was prepared for, based on the low price. The 18" crash projects well, but the 16 inch crash is chintzy-sounding, and not very loud. Neither crash is what I would term full-bodied, but I definitely appreciate the fast decay of the crashes- they don't ring forever. The ride sounds pretty full, and was not nearly as harsh as I anticipated, although I was hoping for a more defined ping- the response decay is slow, so the cumulative ringing is fairly pronounced. The bell is very cheap sounding- not really a surprise overall. The cymbals are much heavier than I anticipated, and look just fine. I bought these for my rehearsal kit, so I was not expecting to buy recording-quality sound. All in all, I am pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of these cymbals, and you can't beat the price. I expect to get a long life from these as well- I am not a super heavy hitter, but I am not a jazz dude, either.

"Great sounding cymbals and very attractive."
Sound: i love the sounds of the hi hats and the 16 inch crash and the free 18 inch crash is nice too. I didn't really like the sound of the ride only becuase i found it a little pingy.These cymbals are loud and very bright sounding there perfect for any kind of drummer. Feature: In my pack it was originally suppose to be a 20" ride a 16" crash and 14" hi-hats but free inside the box i got a remo ambassador snare head a piar of vic firths a cymbal bag and a free 18" crash so it was pretty cool. Ease of Use: you just have to hit them. Quality: the quality is really good theses cymbals will probaly last me forever. Value: i got $230 worth of free stuff so the value is good. Manufacturer Support: haven't needed support The Wow Factor: They are very shiny and attract attention so they are pretty good in this department. Overall: These cymbals will probably stay with me until i decide i just want something different sounding or something happens to them. If they did break i would probably replace them for some higher end sabians because they always sound good.
