SABIAN B8X Medium Crash Cymbal 18 in.

The Sabian B8X 16″ Medium Crash Cymbal provides fast, solid response and an explosion of bright tone, ideal for bigger, fuller accents. Precision formed, hammered and lathed from B8 bronze for pure, tonally tight sounds, the B8X 16″ Medium Crash makes its bright, cutting sound affordable.

Quick Attack and Sustain for Versatile Playing

The B8X 16″ Medium Crash cymbal features a medium weight and profile for a quick attack and longer sustain. Its responsive nature allows drummers to use it as a crash for loud accents or an open hi-hat for rhythmic parts. The medium profile also provides enough volume to cut through loud bands when crashing, while the sustain carries the wash and shimmer.

Handcrafted B8 Bronze for Bright Tones

Sabian crafts the B8X series from hand-selected B8 bronze—an alloy of copper and tin—which provides an ideal balance of warmth, brightness and musicality. The B8X 16″ Medium Crash undergoes a multi-step hammering and lathing process, resulting in a cymbal with a focused, shimmering tone that can handle the subtlest taps or the mightiest crashes. B8X brings the coveted tone of bronze within reach.

Part of a Complete Cymbal Set or As a Standalone

The Sabian B8X 16″ Medium Crash works as part of a complete B8X pack or as an addition to an existing cymbal set. Its medium size and versatile sound allow drummers to use it as a crash, ride or effects cymbal. The B8X series offers a variety of cymbal types and sizes to suit any musical need and budget.
