Sabian B8

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 14-inch Mini 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 14-inch Mini Chinese cymbal delivers all that you need from a china cymbal, but comes in a small package. It has a quick, brash and bright attack, much like other members of the B8 cymbal family, but it has just the right amount of trashiness to its sound, making it perfect for adding funky accents. This B8 Mini Chinese has a traditional finish, making it a tad less bright than the B8 Pro version.
