Sabian B8X Performance Set Plus Reviews

good quality cymbals for a drummer that doesn't want to invest too much

I spent a few weeks researching all the available cymbal sets that would fit my budget and would be the best possible quality in this "lower" range. I am glad I chose these!

I bought them for the single purpose of recording a solo record and to have something to practice or jam on (on live gigs I have drummers with their own, more expensive gear). The cymbals sound nice and are not too thin and quiet, neither too thick and loud with too much sustain. I noticed the smaller of the crash cymbals has a weird sound to it, almost like a clap or smack, but with a tiny rubber dampening pad, this goes away. The rest of the cymbals sound nice without adjustments, especially the ride that I like a lot.

If you're looking to get some beginner to intermediate level cymbals and don't wanna spend a fortune, go for these.

Brilliant cymbals

Absolutely brilliant cymbals. The hat has a wonderful buzz, the crashes are sharp and clear and the ride is rich and warm, and all in all very rich and long ringing. Atop of that, they also look great!

Not bad

They sound pretty good. Maybe a little too bright in my opinion. They are a lot better than the original B8 series
