Feature:
Its a cymbal so you hit it and it make noise... No special features...

Quality:
Ok its getting a five because I haven't owned it long enough to say, I have had the 16 for about 2 months and the 18 for about a month but up to this point They are great, I play Southern rock and country and it has lasted this long, a few very minor dents in the edges but nothing my A customs never did... No loss in sound quality what so ever.

Value:
Again, as a last minute option I picked it up and now I'm recording with these and even expanding to other Zbt's... they are good quality for the Price.... NEver settle though, they will ALWAYS go down at least 10 bucks.

Desirability:
They look beautiful on stage, sound great, I used some cymbal cleaner to get the ZBT off and people are always asking me what series they are, and when I tell them its the lowest series they are amazed.

Sound:
You absolutely cannot beat these cymbals for the price, I Purchased the 16" as a last minute option. By the end of the night I loved it, a month or so later I bought the 18" Love it....

Support:
Haven't needed it

Overall:
SO far an 8, but just because they still aren't K's or A's... Much better than ZHT or Z3 by far though.

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.

Quality:
I bought 2 of these and both cracked. They will not last. Spend a little more and get one that will last.
