Sabian SBR 18-inch crash/ride cymbal

As one of the 'big four' cymbal manufacturers (together with Zildjian, Paiste and Meinl), Sabian has long since proven that their great reputation is entirely justified. But while many cymbal manufacturers tend to forget beginning drummers (or drummers on a tight budget), Sabian has always catered to professionals and beginners alike with many excellent choices in both high-end and budget-friendly cymbals. Sabian SBR 18-inch crash/ride cymbal: made of brass Sabian's SBR line (which stands for 'Sabian Brass') is their least expensive line of cymbals, but you wouldn't guess that by the sound of them. The surface of this 18-inch crash/ride cymbal is hammered and lathed to create a bright, focused sound, while its medium-heavy weight gives it plenty of volume. As the name implies, it has great stick definition and a cutting bell sound, so it will serve you well as a ride cymbal, while it also produces plenty of wash and volume to be a great, loud crash!
