Value:
this is a great value. I'm not exactly a guy with a lot of money, but I definetly owuld suggest it to any begginer or somebody who can't afford an expensive ride, i think this is probably the best quality you will get for this price.

Sound:
I've been drumming for about a year and a half. I bought this cymbal about 2-3 months ago and im stil very impressed with it. it's been good for pretty much everything i've used it for.

Overall:
Now I'm not even thinking about getting a new ride. I have other things that im looking forward to. It is holding up good and i plan on keeping it for now.

I play in an emo-core poppunk band called Allotic, and I started out with a B8 performance pack, over the years I've replaced all my cymbals with Sabian AA El Sabors, and AAX Stage hi-hats, but when it came time to get a new ride, I couldn't find one that I liked better than my old B8, so I bought another one. Best decision I ever made.
The ONLY problem is that the B8 natural finish is VERY prone to rust and corrosion, so keep them clean. Although, for the money you save getting a B8 ride versus a pricier one... you could just get some back-ups.

Feature:
Didn't come with anything but the actual cymbals. It would have gotten 10 for this if it had come with spare felts and cymbal sleeves...

Quality:
Very strong, has a natural finish. From talking to other people, I've heard this finish can corrode fairly easily if the cymbal gets wet. Sabian have great factory testing for quality, so I have no worries there.

Value:
Very good value; one of the cheapest rides on the market, and sounds comparable to many more expensive heavy rides, such as Zildjian Z Rides.

Desirability:
Based on the range of cymbals available, I wouldnt say it has 'sex appeal'. With Zildjian K and A customs, and Ks and As, and Sabian HHX and HH out there, I think this 'sex appeal' would be reserved for those. However, if I had to choose between it and say, a Zildian ZBT Ride, I would definately go with the B8.

Sound:
It is a fairly heavy ride. Virtually no wash at all; I would never use it for jazz, or any other music on the softer side. Very clear stick definition, does exactly what you want it to. Can go from soft to loud and back down very quickly. Very, very good sound for the price.

Ease of Use:
Its no 'easier' to use than any other cymbal. It is quite easy to control though, and does not have a complex sound. A beginner can get a great sound out of it.

Support:
Sabian has already given me great support.

Overall:
I used it for about 4 years before I replaced it. The replacement was due more to the change in my playing; I moved into jazz and world music. I bought it in a B8 Peformance Pack, with 14 hats, 16 and 18 crashes and this ride; along with the 18 crash, it was my favourite cymbal of the lot. For a beginner, or for someone short of cash to buy an expensive, upmarket cymbal, the B8 20inch Ride is the best on the market.

Quality:
The cymbal is made well, but its still a toy.

Value:
The best for the money, period, but be ready to sacrifice when you hear that awful sound.

Sound:
The ride sound os O.K. Playing the bell makes me want to puke. It is THE MOST ANNOYING BELL EVER MADE be warned. Check out sabian s website for a sound clip - it's all there.

Support:
Sabian is still good
