Reviews around way (5.00 of 5)

  • just learn to hit your cymbals the right way and even if you have an aggressive style (which i do) you will be hitting them the right way and they will last for years.

Reviews around price (4.16 of 5)

  • i bought this cymbal a little over a month and a half ago, it is starting to show a little wear and tear with the exception of the fact that i am somewhat of an aggressive drummer, however the price is great and this cymbal does sound nice
  • i went through 2 in about 5 months but the 18 inch crash ride wen used as a ride cymbal has lasted me about a year and a half with only 1 small crack that hasnt grew and my hi-hats still sound that same way as when i took them out of the box same with m 16 inch zbt crash.....the only cymbal from the zbt line i hate is the 14" if u want a good cymbal for a cheap price buy the 16" the 14 " failed miserably
  • its not bad though..cymbal is live and time will tell how it holds...not eye catching not my favorite cymbal but goes on the rack often....over all cant beat the price great value

Reviews around sound (3.97 of 5)

  • it has a very annoying high-pitched sound and a very annoying ring to it at the end
  • Sound:9.5/10First of all, sound is very opinion orientated, and I recommend that you try a cymbal before buying it.
  • It has aggressive overtone, crisp, sweet, sophisticated sound
  • the sound is surprisingly alright- its quite explosive, and it has a very short decay
  • Nice sound,,, but what else would you expect from this company?

Reviews around crash (3.86 of 5)

  • Nice crash cymbal, it's replacing one that looks like it was held together with brass brads and bad intentions, so hey, it can't lose.
  • ahhhhhhhh this thing is awesome, i paid only 55 for the cymbal and shipping which was cool, it has a nice sound and steady too, but not really a ride cause it over rings too much but this is a great crash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • I was so use to the sound of my crappy crash that came with my kit
  • Believe me, you cant get no better crash cymbal for this price
  • I ride this cymbal more than my smaller ride cymbal and makes a perfect crash, too.

Reviews around splash (2.94 of 5)

  • great splash, I love it.
  • but it is a perfect short duration splash effect.
  • I already had a set of ZBT's (China, 18" crash ride combo, 10" splash, and high hats), We loved the 10" splash but wanted an in between cymbal
  • I have split and torn the Amazon bought cymbals in several places, however, my 10" splash and 20" ride of the same brand and model are holding up nicely, the splash takes an inordinate amount of abuse, however they were not bought here

  • For a 14-Inch crash cymbal I personally thought it sounded like a higher pitch, almost like a splash cymbal

Reviews around line (1.00 of 5)

  • the ZBT line is an entry level line that cost less but also don't give you the same rich sound as the more expensive lines give you
  • if it was me who bought new cymbals I would have gone with a more expensive line because they do sound
  • but I have since upgraded to the more expensive lines for better quality sound
