Great drum set for the beginner. Comes with the full set up with cymbal stands and hardware. Made out of durable materials. Check out the white set with black hardware by clicking on the view larger button. Looks pretty cool. Should get the new drummer up and running in no time. Click the price button below to see the low price on this kit. Great bargain for everything you get. I personally play Pearl drums and Sabian cymbals and love them. I love Pearl’s sound, finish and great hardware. Sabian cymbals are top notch as well. These are brands that have fully gained my trust. I truly believe the new drummer can’t go wrong with this kit.

Sabian B8 Super Cymbal Set – Great Gift Idea

The B8 hi-hats have crisp and lively stick and pedal response and are very bright and definite, clean and penetrating. The B8 thin crash has a full, penetrating response, and is bright and loud, exploding with an upward pitch gain for maximum impact. The 20" ride has crisp stick definition, a cutting bell, and a bright tonal response blend to create a smooth, versatile ride. The free 10" splash accents with extremely fast, bright, and punchy high-end cut.Bronze is the ultimate cymbal metal. The world-leading budget-priced cymbal, B8 set the standard for quality cymbals, designed for the entry-level player. 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.

Rating:
The Sabian B8 series is a very popular cymbal line up for the beginner drummer who doesn’t want to spend a lot and get his or her drum set outfitted. Most drum sets don’t come with any cymbals so there can be a lot of additional cost to get the entire drum set ready for playing. Thanks to Sabian creating the B8 line and this cymbal pack, the beginner drummer can get a fairly decent set up for cheap. The price you pay for this whole cymbal pack is around the price of a single cymbal on pricier models. This would make a great present for a drummer who is receiving a new drum set as a gift. Great gift idea…

Great Cymbal pack from Zildjian for those drummers who are on a budget. Finish is beautiful which includes a cool divited brilliant surface. Great cymbal for Harder playing including rock, punk, etc. Bell of cymbals seem a little small. You should definitely be able to pound on these cymbals and cut through the other band sound going on around you. It’s a good deal with the free crash that’s included.
