Zildjian ZBT 16 Inch Crash Cymbal (ZB16C)
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Bronze alloy. Medium-thin. Brilliant finish. 16 in.

Made from the same energetic sheet bronze alloy as Edge and ZBT-Plus, the ZBT 16 in. crash is a splendid fast crash with a bright high-pitched tone. With its great sound and value, the ZBT series makes an ideal first set.

"ZBT- Zildjian's Entry Level Winner!"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I chose the ZBT because I wanted an inexpensive cymbal to use for rehearsals and to round out my kit for live gigs. Zildjian definitely delivered. I would be happy to use these cymbals for a live gig.
Sound
This is a decent cymbal at a great price! I have 2 of the 16" ZBT crashes that I use in rehearsals and practice. The sound is very bright, with a quick response and decay. I play heavy rock/metal and the sound cuts right through, although I think a larger size would naturally add volume and power. Zildjian doesn't put their name on junk, so don't be fooled by the low price.
Quality
This is Zildjian's entry level cymbal. However, there were no defects or examples of poor craftsmanship on either of the cymbals I purcased.
The Wow Factor
These cymbals look good, the brilliant finish and hammering look professional.
