The ZBT ride cymbal has an advanced look and sound. It projects a loud cutting voice as powerful as any Zildjian and adds real musicality to your kit.

Zildjian ZBT Ride Cymbal
Sound grooves and round hammer strikes in a simple circular pattern on the top surface of ZBT cymbals magnify the basic sound of the distinctive ZBT alloy. The ZBT Ride delivers a medium high-pitched tone with precise, clean stick definition.The bright, intense, high-pitched sound of the ZBT series cymbals cuts through the mix of other instruments. Sheet origin and precision lathing techniques create high-volume projection that speaks quickly and brightly with a rapid decay. Since ZBT cymbals are pressed and lathed from sheets of uniform, high-quality bronze alloy, they are remarkably consistent. The highly polished, brilliant finish looks fresh. Superb all-purpose ride cymbal. Excellent, clean stick articulation with controlled overtones. ZBT-Plus cymbals take Zildjian Bronze Technology up a notch with advanced hammering and lathing, and enhanced sound for versatility, musicality, and professional performance.

"Pretty Good" by David - 3/20/2003 10:07:40 PM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: Local Band Punk Woonsocket, RI 85 people out of 133 found this review helpful The ZBT ride is very good for the price range. The ping is a nice high pitch, but I don't enjoy the long overtones. Besides that this ride is well worth it in this price range. Was this review useful?

"Very nice" by Adam M. - 12/9/2002 6:59:42 PM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: Hobbyist Punk, Metal, Grunge, Rock Cincinnati, OH USA 68 people out of 129 found this review helpful This ride is very good for a sheet bronze ride. I have no complaints about it, but, if you are looking for a brighter ping or just plain better quality, then try a ZXT or some other cast bronze rides (like Avedis' or Z Customs).

"good for $" by Big K - 4/8/2004 12:26:14 PM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: Rock Band rock,metal Omaha,NE 65 people out of 130 found this review helpful This ride is pretty good for its price. It sounds okay, but has long and high pitched overtones. This is a good cymbal to learn on for a couple years, then get an A series or Z custom. Was this review useful? "Great deal!" by John M. - 4/13/2002 8:42:48 PM Musical Experience: Style of Music: Hometown: Drummer Altrernative/rock Hollywood 42 people out of 86 found this review helpful This cymbal plays relatively well for the price. However, if you don't like an extremely high pitched noise, I wouldn't recommend it. Personally, I love it and I wouldn't go with anything else in this price range. Was this review useful?
