Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Sabian B8X Ballistic is a solid entry-level crash – it’s got a really distinctive, trashy sound that’s perfect for rock, punk, or anyone wanting a bit of attitude. It’s a budget-friendly option that delivers a surprisingly fun, aggressive crash, but don't expect the longevity or nuanced response of a pro-level cymbal.
