BEST CHINA ON THE MARKET!!

The Sabian B8 china has to be the loudest cymbal I own. You can hear this cymbal over anything, it over powers my guitarist. This great and i reccommend it to anyone looking to add a china to their cybal setup!

Sabian B8 Chinese Cymbal

This B8 Chinese is LOUD! When I hit this cymbal it overpowers all of the other cymbals in my drumset. I have owned it for 2 years and given it quite a beating, and it is still in great condition, no cracks or keyholing. It's a great deal for a beginner drumset who wants a nice China sound in their set.

Tough and Very Loud

The Sabian B8 18" china is a nice part of my kit and by far the loudest. The sound is very nice with tons of vibration and resonance, so much to the point it could rival a small gong. I've read about a pro drummer for a mainstream metal band actually using an 18" B8 China for its powerful sound. B8s are very thick, tough cymbals and this china is no different. I've owned one for 2 years and have had no problems with cracking or warping. This cymbal sounds great, cuts through any sound, and can take a beating. Great cymbal at a great price.

The best is always the loudest!

I got this cymbal because there was no other china in the shop but i was willing to wait but im glad that i didnt because this thing is @#%!&*$ loud!! its the best sounding cymbal on my set! the sound is great and the resonance is also great. wouldnt recomend anything else. The look and feel match the sound and crash.... Perfection on a stand.
