SABIAN was founded in late 1981, when one of the world's great names in cymbal making, Bob 'Sabian' decided drummers deserve better cymbals. Not happy with the quality, sound and relevance of cymbals made at that time, he launched SABIAN. Located in the small eastern Canadian village of Meductic, New Brunswick, SABIAN - most notably The Vault, where cymbals are designed - has since become the global center for cymbal and sound innovation. Our ongoing program of discovery and design means today's drummers and percussionist have a larger-than-ever selection of interesting and innovative cymbals to choose from, with models ranging from vintage to modern, from highly personalized to whatever you need.
B8 Bronze. Bronze is the ultimate cymbal metal. For prices that make it easier to build the kit of your dreams, B8 offers a full range of precision-crafted bronze cymbals. Fully hammered and totally lathed to capture the bright, focused, and penetrating sounds of more expensive cymbals, B8 delivers the sound and value of SABIAN bronze quality at the lowest possible prices.
B8 First Pack includes 13 inch Hi-Hats and a 16 inch Thin Crash.
Today, with offices and depots dotted around the globe and distribution to approximately 120 countries, SABIAN is what Bob 'Sabian' and his family intended. But for us that is just the start. Ask why SABIAN exists, the answer is easier than ever: 'Because Sound Matters.'
