General
As one of the 'big four' cymbal manufacturers (together with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl), Sabian has long since proven that their great reputation is entirely justified. But while many cymbal manufacturers tend to forget beginning drummers (or drummers on a tight budget), Sabian has always catered to professionals and beginners alike with many excellent choices in both high-end and budget-friendly cymbals.
Sabian B8 18-inch Chinese cymbal: affordable bronze cymbals
The Sabian B8 line of cymbals is known world-wide as one of the best series of affordable cymbals. All cymbals in this line are made of B8 bronze (hence their name), and the combination of quality materials and attention to detail make B8 cymbals a great choice for both beginners and advanced drummers on a budget.
This 18-inch Chinese cymbal with a traditional finish delivers everything you need from a china cymbal. It has a quick, brash and bright attack that fits into the B8 cymbal family quite well, but which is accompanied by the dark, trashy overtones any good china should have.
