Members johnrobbsmusic Posted June 19, 2009 Members Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hey everyone, I just got this set of Sabian B8 Pro Rock Hats....I don't know anything about them, i usually use my starter Zildjian ZBT's, but I got these for free from my cousin, they just moved and found them in a fort someone had built in the middle of their woods. Anyway, i got them for free and they weigh a TON compared to the ZBT's, they weigh about as much as my 20 inch ride. Just sharing my new addition, i haven't got a stand for them, but they'll probably end up being Aux. hats. I'm sure they were buried behind the Sabian factory at some point, but they sound like gongs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kerouac Posted June 20, 2009 Members Share Posted June 20, 2009 I've had two sets of those over the years.... one back in high school and recently I purchased a kit that came with a full set of the B8 Pro "rock" cymbals. Very thick, very clangly and pretty loud. IMO, they don't sound too bad for that sloshy half-open sound, but I've never gotten a satisfying "chick" out of them. Either way, you can't ever beat free.
