Zildjian Review: 20 inch ZBT Ride

History:

Purchase: I bought this cymbal as my first ride about 2 years ago. I bought it at my local George's Music store for about $80 dollars. I had a crash ride from a cymbal pack, but it was terrible so i needed something to replace it.

What I Like About This Zildjian 20 inch ZBT Ride: This cymbal is great for a beginner who needs a quality ride cymbal and is on a tight budget. It has decent stick definition and sounds good for the price.

What I Do NOT Like About The Zildjian 20 inch ZBT Ride: There wasn't much that I didn't like about this cymbal. The only reason I upgraded was that I had the money and already had other cymbals that were good, so i decided to replace it.

Zildjian 20 inch ZBT Ride Quality Rating: This is a strong cymbal and lasts a long time. I have had it for 2 years and it hasn't keyholed or cracked. Even after using it as a crash for a period of time it was still perfect. For the price it would be hard to find a better cymbal.

Review Summary: This is a great beginner cymbal. Has a good sound, and will last a long time. Also sounds good as a low dark crash.

Rating of this Zildjian product: 3
