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 20-inch Medium Ride: 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), with a 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 20-inch Medium Ride is an excellent all-round ride cymbal. It has great stick definition that is clearly audible, even when your band mates turn their volume up to 11, while the cymbal's relatively light weight gives it a slight wash when you play it at higher volumes.
