Overview
The
Zildjian ZBT 4-Piece Cymbal Set with 18" China and Cymbal Bag includes a 20" ride, 16" crash, and a pair of 14" hi-hats. These are entry-level cymbals made a by a great company in
Zildjian. The ZBT-Plus cymbals use the
Zildjian Bronze Technology to offer great cymbals with clean stick articulation and controlled overtones.
The Good
Zildjian is one of the most popular and well-known companies in the cymbal industry and you can only expect the best from them. This cymbal package includes everything a starting drummer needs in terms of cymbals and the free china cymbal and cymbal bag that it comes with is definitely a plus. If you’re on a budget, then this is probably one of the better deals for your money.
Sabian also has a similar package that you might want to look into. As for sound quality, the ride rings quite well and the crash and hi-hats are decent. For the price, there is really not much that competes.
The Bad
Although this is a great deal for beginning drummers, the cymbals are not the best you can get. These are lower line cymbals and there have been many cases where customers have complained about the crash cracking too easily or the ride being too loud and ringing for too long.
The Verdict
I’d recommend this package only to beginning drummers who are on a tight budget. Otherwise, it’d be wise to invest in something of higher quality which will last you longer and sound much better such as the
Zildjian A or K series cymbals.
Wuhan also has some comparable cymbals that may cost less.
