Turkish Cymbals 8" Bell

The 8-inch bell is the smallest accent maker in the set: a thick, compact cymbal that delivers almost nothing but a pure, bell-like ping – no wash, just long, penetrating sustain. Perfect for precise accents that cut through any mix. Every bell at Cymballand is handcrafted in Istanbul from pure B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin).

Series in this size

In 8 inches we carry the brilliant Ad Astra Bell with its clearly defined ping, the raw-cast Rock Beat Raw Big Bell with its massive, penetrating tone, and the Xanthos-Cast Flat Bell Sizzle, whose sizzle rivets add a fine shimmer to the flat profile. You'll find more models in our overview of bell cymbals.

What an 8-inch bell is made for

The 8-inch sets lightning-fast, high-pitched accents: in Latin and percussion setups, for striking hooks in fusion and progressive, or as an effect color in the studio. Mounted on a stack or as an auxiliary cymbal, it stays crystal clear even in dense arrangements.
