Orchestral Cymbals Sabian 18" B8X Band

The Sabian 18" B8X Band is a pair of large orchestral cymbals designed for school, marching, and concert ensembles. The 18-inch diameter creates a powerful, spacious sound that works well both indoors and outdoors. The medium-heavy weight provides a crisp attack, controlled volume, and a distinct tone across a wide dynamic range, from soft to loud passages. These cymbals sound bright and rich, adding depth and power to the ensemble sound. Made of B8 bronze (a copper alloy with added tin), they are distinguished by their purity of tone, durability, and consistent sound quality, allowing musicians to use them with confidence in rehearsals and performances.

The B8X is an evolution of the legendary B8 series. The B8X series cymbals are designed specifically to give beginners and young ensembles a more professional sound at an affordable price. Thanks to precise forming, forging, and lathing, these cymbals have a dense, bright, and controllable tone that fits easily into any ensemble mix.
