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.
Cymballand has been the official dealer of Turkish Cymbals in Germany since 2015. We ship hand-selected cymbals from Berlin. Find your 8-inch bell and order it directly from Cymballand.
Ich bin total begeistert von dem gelieferten Jazzbecken.
Großartiges Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
Vielen Dank 🤗
Hallo Rolf, vielen Dank für deine 5 Sterne und die netten Worte! Es freut mich sehr, dass dir das John Blackwell Signature Ride so gut gefällt. Viel Spaß beim Spielen, und wenn du mal Fragen hast oder etwas Neues suchst, melde dich gern bei mir.
Eine interessante Mischung aus Splash und Mini Flat Ride. Eine Bereicherung für mein Set Up.
Hallo Simon,
vielen Dank für die fünf Sterne und für das Foto dazu. Die Beschreibung trifft es genau: Die Satellite Flat Bell ist irgendwo zwischen Splash und Mini Flat Ride angesiedelt, und genau diese Zwischenwelt macht sie so spannend. Schön zu hören, dass sie dein Set bereichert.
Really dark, loud hihats, works good as secondary hats for blastbeats when set not too washy.
Thanks for the order, and for this genuinely useful feedback. Dark and loud with control over the wash is exactly the Kurak character, and hearing that it holds up for blastbeats as secondary hats is a great data point for anyone in that scene. Enjoy them!
