Zildjian ZBT cymbals employ sound grooves and round hammer strikes in a simple circular pattern on their top surface to magnify the basic sound of the distinctive ZBT alloy. The ZBT Crash is a splendid fast crash with a bright high-pitched tone. The ZBT China is fast, bright, and trashy--ideal for special accents and musical exclamation points. Bold and colorful with an explosive attack, fast decay and plenty of volume to cut through the music. 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.
