Precision-crafted from B8 bronze, its heavy build and brilliant finish provide the bright, cutting tone needed to slice through a mix.

B8 Bronze Construction for Penetrating Presence
Forged from B8 bronze, a proprietary alloy perfected by Sabian, the B8X Rock Crash has a resonant quality that cuts with clarity. Its material and design translate every stroke into a blast of full-bodied sound with shimmering highs. The cymbal's substantial weight further amplifies its projection, allowing it to soar over the roar of amplified instruments.
Precision Hammering and Lathing for Musicality
While optimized for volume and aggression, the B8X Rock Crash remains highly musical. Sabian's master cymbalsmiths hand-hammer each cymbal to fine-tune its tonal response before precision lathing its surface. This combination of techniques results in a cymbal with a balanced, controlled voice able to complement your playing with harmonic complexity.
Explosive Attack for Accentuating Timekeeping

For orchestrating dramatic dynamic shifts or crescendos, look no further than the mighty voice of this 18" crash.
