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 Pro 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 the name), and the combination of quality materials and attention to detail makes B8 cymbals a great choice for both beginners and advanced drummers on a budget. This B8 Pro line is a slightly upgraded version of those fantastic cymbals, adding a brilliant finish to the mix!
This 18-inch Chinese cymbal delivers all that you need from a china cymbal and more. It has a quick, brash and bright attack that fits into the B8 family of cymbals quite well, but which is accompanied by the dark, trashy overtones any good china should have.

Wrote the following about Sabian B8 Pro 18-inch Chinese cymbal
2016 has just begun, but Sabian has already announced a brand new line of cymbals: the XSR series. This successor to the Xs20 series features the exceptional qualities we know from the Evolution and X-plosion cymbals, applied to a much more affordable line. Sabian ensures us that they're absolutely best in class!
Zildjian spent two years developing their new S Family series. This extensive new range consists of a whopping 33 cymbals and two cymbal sets. If you're looking for bright-sounding cymbals that are suitable for a remarkably wide musical repertoire, then take a closer look at these new Zildjian cymbals!
Paiste is introducing Color Sound 900 cymbals in black, red, blue and purple. We already have Paiste's standard 900 models in stock, but we understand that some people appreciate a bit of extra colour in their lives! Now, your drum set can look as colourful as it sounds. The Color Sound 900 series includes (heavy) crashes, (heavy) rides, heavy/Sound Edge hi-hats, splashes and chinas.
Sabian is adding no fewer than 25 new cymbals to its range of products for the coming year. There are new additions to the AA, AAX, XSR, B8X and HHX series, as well as a number of interesting new Artisan Light and Artisan Elite cymbals. The Artisan Elite series will increase the sound possibilities for jazz-oriented drummers in particular.
