Zildjian Review: ZBT 4 Piece Cymbal Set

History:

Purchase: I bought this pack at muciansfriend.com for $200 plus s/h. I got this set because I was still playing stock cymbals and they sucked really bad. This set includes: 14" hi hat pair, 16" crash, 20" ride, plus a free 18" china cymbal, cymbal bag, stickers, and a zildjian magazine.

What I Like About This Zildjian ZBT 4 Piece Cymbal Set: You get alot of free crap that are kinda cool. The cymbals are thick but not too heavy and can take a pretty good beating. The finish is also really nice.

What I Do NOT Like About The Zildjian ZBT 4 Piece Cymbal Set: The hats sometimes have a ring after sound when I hit them, but they still have a good "chick" sound which a good pair of hats need. The ride is a little too washy and sounds pretty bad when played with thick nylon tips (like the Zildjian Temptesta's). The crash is good but sounds a little too trashy sounding for my taste. ZBTs also have HORRIBLE bells.

Zildjian ZBT 4 Piece Cymbal Set Quality Rating: Unlike other cymbals, the ZBTs are made of bronze. this gives them a a pretty good and orignal sound. They have a nice finish too.

Review Summary: Try these cymbalS out before buying them. Most people would probaly like the Sabian B8's better. Even though i like Zildjian alot better than Sabian, i'd probaly buy the B8's if i could do it over again.

Rating of this Zildjian product: 3
