They blend in perfectly with the music and have a smooth feel when hit. Of all the cymbal alloys, B20 is more complementary than other cymbal alloys to many styles of music and is generally considered the finest material for making cymbals. B8 bronze has the highest content of copper which results in a more red-like finish. They are very firm and easily resist hard playing. The sound of cymbals made from B8 bronze is very bright, powerful and has a lot of attack. It easily cuts through loud volumes.
