Sabian B8 Pro 14-inch Thin Crash

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 14-inch Thin Crash: 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 14-inch Thin Crash has a rather self-explanatory name; it's a thin crash, which will also tell you a lot about its sound. While the crash has the bright, focused sound that the B8 family of cymbals is known for, its slight weight and thin profile make this crash a little different from its larger siblings. It is a bit more subtle and has a nice wash and a less cutting attack, while still providing a nice, sparkling crash with a rapid decay. The brilliant finish makes for a nice visual addition, while also providing the sound with a hint of added brightness
