The Sabian 14" B8X Hi-Hat represents an evolution in what should be expected from a "beginner" set of cymbals through a new design and reconceived hammering process. Made out of the bright, chipper B8 alloy which sports a higher degree of copper, the new "X" series features a more gradual profile through the bow and extended hammering patterns on the surface and bell for an even more musical experience at a bargain price.
