question about a cymbal....

I'm buying cymbals right now and I have a question about a purchase. Is $40 + shipping a good deal for a sabian b8 pro cymbal that is used, but in very good condition?

Eeehh...B8 pro cymbals are a lower quality cymbal, and I really can't stand them...It's a good deal if all you need is a cymbal, but if you're looking for quality cymbals only, then I think you'd be wasting money...just my opinion

>>>Cmon man, add or borrow 150 bucks and buy a cymbal 4 life like the Sabian HHX or Zildjian K series...I don't understand why Sabian calls the B8 series "Pro" anyway..."standard" would be a good start. They sound like crap really...

I'd prefer to have one AAX crash rather than having like 9058623 b8 pro cymbals.
Buy quality stuff. B8s are never a good deal...

I would recommend anything HH, HHX, AA, AAX.
I'm trying to buy the hardwares for my drumset first. I got an export kit and I am trying to change my kit to a Pearl Masters! Wish me luck - it's expensive :P
