Zildjian ZBT Crash Cymbal

Sound:
I love this cymbal. It is an awesome sounding cymbal. It almost sounds like a splash. It is my favorite, out of 8 cymbals! Thank you Zildjian, and my parents for providing me with this item.

Feature:
For a beginner cymbal pack this crash is nice and has a good all-around starting use as a main cymbal on a set that might only have this one crash cymbal, but if you like expansive kits look into cymbals that are made for a more specific sound.

Quality:
As far as my drumming experience goes (about 2 years) Zildjians are fairly good cymbals, though I haven't picked for sure yet between the two giants (Zildjian and Sabian), but this cymbal, after having had it for a little under a year, cracked on the edge. I could tell it would eventually, cause I play on my cymbals really hard, probably too hard, and it dented all over the place, and finally now there's this half inch crack on the edge that will inevitably grow larger and turn sideways and run around the cymbal until it just sounds like a splash/china thing of crap.

Value:
How much is it, 129.99? I'd say besides the cracking problem (which might not be a particularly widespread problem) this cymbal not quite worth the money.

Desirability:
Nice and shiny, which is attractive in most cases, and Zildjian's logo is oh so cool...

Sound:
Alright so I've got 3 crashes on my set and I have the 16" ZBT, got it in a cymbal pack. I have to say it's got a nice sound in certain situations, although a little undefined for me...I like to use it as more of a noise cymbal than a specifically-located-in-the-song cymbal.

Ease of Use:
Cymbal. Self-explanatory.

Overall:
I think it's a decent cymbal in context of the cymbal pack it is in, but if you're buying an individual crash cymbal I wouldn't particularly recommend this one, unless you just absolutely must have it's sound and your willing to buy a new cymbal every year for the cracking. When my current one is unusable I'm definitely getting a diff. crash, not the same one.
