Musical Background: drum in 3 bands

Back to Product Information
Sound: The sound of this ride is a very medium pitched more to low ride. it has a reasonable sound. Feature: the bell on the ride is great. especially for metal drumming. its very distinct 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. 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. 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.

Back to Product Information
Sound: I play in a rock band that blends funk, jazz and rock elements in its music. I find this cymbal very good overall cymbal for such kind of music. It's loud when you need it to be, but it can be really soft and quiet also. Feature: Bell is nice. Not so good when you crash it, but the sound is still pretty solid. Ease of Use: Easy to adopt to. Big bell. Quality: I'm aware that it's not top-of-the-line cymbal, but I still haven't cracked it.. Value: For that amount of money, I doubt you can find a better solution. Great value for money ratio. Manufacturer Support: Pretty easy to reach, even in Serbia. The Wow Factor: It looks good, and it sounds good, but nothing spectacular. Overall: I will definitely use it until it cracks or until i save enough money for K custom hybrid. Don't wanna sell it.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: the overtones destroy the stick definition entirely. The whole ZBT line is just loud and yucky. 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. Manufacturer Support: peh The Wow Factor: Zildjian is a good name, but shame on them for making this crappy cymbal. Overall: i'm upgrading to a z custom soon.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
