Review: "The crashes all performed well, only really giving the game away at dynamic extremes (but this in comparison to higher priced makes). No problem to record or gig with."

Review written by Andy Duncan ("Sabian B8 Cymbals", Making Music, April 1987)

Review: (This review is after they were redesigned.) "The 18" cymbal was designated as a "crash/ride." Personally, I found it to be too washy for use as a ride cymbal, but I'm also aware that some of the drummers in modern rock bands are very fond of bashing their cymbals, so this might be very appealing for such players. My more traditional taste found it to be an excellent crash cymbal, with a full-bodied sound that had reasonable but not excessive sustain. List price is $110."
