Sabian B8 18" Crash Cymbal Reviews

On 2001-11-01, Psycho Drummer rated this Sabian B8 18" Crash Cymbal a 4...(765)


Purchase: I bought this cymbal at Midwest Percussion (www.midwestpercussion.com) for my first drum set. I paid about $60 for it, and it is definitely a great beginner cymbal! I tried other starter cymbals, but this was the best i had seen, and for this amount it was hard to beat. I now have other cymbals, although this was a great buy and an excellent addition to my first drum set.I bought the cymabl off of Midwest's site, and it got to my house very quickly.
Pros: I loved the price for the quality, and how it stood up to some pretty harsh hits. It has a pretty good sound for a not-so-high end cymbal.
Cons: I didn't like the little low crash it gave because I was looking more for a higher pitch. It doesn't fit well into other sets, so buying all B8's would be the best choice for a total sound.
Quality: It is excellent quality, and is a round piece of metal! What did you think a cymbal was? It basically looks like every other kind of cymbal out there.

Review Summary: If you want a good cymbal at a rock-bottom price, grab one of these bad boys. They can't be beat for quality vs. price.
