B8X Bronze Hats, Amazing Value!

A significant upgrade to Sabian's venerable B8 bronze formulation, B8X hi-hat cymbals are precision formed and lathed, and are treated to additional hammering for a bright, tight sound with crisp stick and pedal response. B8 cymbals always represented serious value, and the B8X Series ups the ante with improved performance at the same wallet-friendly prices. If you're making your move to bronze, this B8X 14-inch hi-hat pair is a smart investment.

Serious drummers rely on Sabian

With Sabian cymbals, you're in good company. Located in the small Eastern Canadian village of Meductic, New Brunswick, Sabian has been supplying the shimmer on the top end of countless hit records for over three decades. First-call drummers such as Terry Bozzio, Dave Weckl, and Mike Portnoy — and many of the drummers here at Sweetwater — rely on Sabian for the sizzle atop their kits, and you can, too.
