Review: "Sabian's B8 cymbals can be quite tinny and brash-sounding, but these Solid APX hats are nothing like earlier B8s, they're much smoother and refined in tone. For us, these are the first Sabian B8s which are comparable in musicality to the great B8s Paiste has made for decades.
B8 is generally viewed as less musical than B20, but it works extremely well for rock and electro styles - the whole raison d'être of Paiste's legendary 2002s - and the APX reminds us of these, if not exactly in tone then certainly in quality and playability.
APX is Sabian's range which is said to have the most modern cut. But, although heavy, these Solid hats are not so high pitched as to be brittle or harsh. Half opened you'll extract a decent Bonzo 'Rock And Roll' intro out of this pair. Not at all shoddy, in other words. These are 15s (there are already 13s and 14s) so expect a big, penetrating sound."
