Crisp stick definition, a cutting bell and bright tonal response make the Sabian 20" B8X ride a versatile model for the serious beginner. Precision formed, hammered and lathed for pure, tonally tight sounds, B8X makes your first move into this precious metal an easy one.
The B8 Series ride cymbal has a crisp stick definition, cutting bell, and bright tonal response blend to create a smooth, versatile ride. For prices that make it easier to build the kit of your dreams, B8 offers a full range of precision-crafted bronze cymbals. Fully hammered and totally lathed to capture the bright, focused, and penetrating sounds of more expensive cymbals, B8 delivers the sound and value of Sabian bronze quality at the lowest possible prices.
With a double hole ring of response-enhancing holes, the B8X O-Zone responds rapidly with a combination of bright explosion and dirty agitation. Like the perennial best-seller SABIAN B8 Pro O-Zone, this radical model features similar multi-holed design as HHX and AAX O-Zone crashes, but the double ring design delivers even attack that is aggressive, raw and nasty. SABIAN O-Zone crashes are not your typical crash, they're a crude and aggressive combination of a thin crash and a Chinese. The holes serve to lighten the weight of the cymbal. So while its size and volume remain the same, the response is actually much faster because there’s less metal mass to move.
