Loaded with explosive response that is fast, tonally-full and powerful, the Sabian 16" B8X Rock Crash delivers with total presence and penetrating power. Precision formed, hammered and lathed for pure, tonally tight sounds, B8X is the bright, cutting sound of pure Bronze ... at a low price that makes your first move into this precious metal an easy one.
I started on Sabian B8 cymbals and I loved them. Are the B8X cymbals better? That's tough to say, It's important to note that even though the price indicates that this is an entry level cymbal, these can easily perform well in a professional environment, if you prefer the bright cutting sounds. These are a winner!
