The B8X series from Sabian is the evolution of the B8 series. The B8X series features additional hammering, including fully hammered bells, an adjusted profile and an attractive new logo. The B8X series is superior to its predecessor, the B8 series, in every way and sits at the same price. The result is an enhanced projection, far more complexity to the tone and overall sound, and a brilliant new look.
The technique of hammering a cymbal to alter the sound is one that requires fine expertise and experience.
