Great Cymbal

I Own the 16 inch and the 18 inch. Very great Cymbals. Looks great, sounds great, and it last long. I have them for about 2 years now, and i have been playing alot of shows. Great for advanced players!

Has it's place.

So really quick, the best way I can describe this is trashy. I have the 14" crash and while it doesn't have a really complex sound, it does have a sound. I've implemented my ZBT as a splash due to it's bright trashy metallic sound and extremely short decay. People might knock the ZBT's but looking back on them I can honestly say that they aren't all that bad. The crash/ride I owned was a great ride ( was a little too washy for my taste as a crash). So I don't think there is anything wrong with owning one of these, they sound decent and the price is great.

    I own the 18" Zbt Crash and it impressed me. This Zbt is very responsive and has a nice dark sound to it. My only complaint is the overtones, but overall it is a nice Cymbal

  • The cymbal is a good cymbal for the price.

    It is for practice but they should not sell and send a new cymbal permanently full of dark fingerprints. Sell as USED. But it is a good cymbal for the price.

  • Definitely buy again

    I know it's hard getting equipment in this crazy world now and to wait. The 18 in Zidjian crash I'm glad I got it but it came from a store and not warehouse. It has black finger prints all over it and looks like it's a couple of years old . I'll get some cleaner for it. All the other hardware I got so far look great and still waiting on the drum set.
