Feature:
the bell on the ride is great. especially for metal drumming. its very distinct

Quality:
this cymbal is descent quality but can really take a beating.

Value:
i think i got exactly what i paid for mabye even more.

Sound:
The sound of this ride is a very medium pitched more to low ride. it has a reasonable sound.

Ease of Use:
When i play with my bands the ride sometimes sounds a little low in volume except for when im playing punk rock. in my thrash band i use the bell and that can be heard wery well. it sometimes gets a crappy sound out of it when i play but its only because i hit it on a bad part of the cymbal.

Overall:
ive been playing the ride for about a year now nd i cant get enough of it. i use it way more than my hi hats.

Using this ride alone can actually cover the overall depth of your music in a large hall area! Cool... sometimes I tend to forget that there's a hi-hat next to me... :p Very good bell projection when playing fast passages...

Feature:
i got mine in a pack, with crash, ride, hihats... that comes with a bag.

Quality:
it corroded within a week of owning it. now it looks gross, and sounds worse. It hasn't cracked though, and seems to be able to take a beating.

Value:
cheap, but you get what you pay for. good for new drummers, but you'll get sick of it easiy.

Desirability:
Zildjian is a good name, but shame on them for making this crappy cymbal.

Sound:
the overtones destroy the stick definition entirely. The whole ZBT line is just loud and yucky.

Support:
peh

Overall:
i'm upgrading to a z custom soon.
