An explosive, all-purpose crash for beginners. A great all-purpose ride!

The Zildjian ZBT Crash Cymbal is a splendid fast crash with a bright high-pitched tone. 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 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.

A fantastically consistent crash you'll love. Order now. Don't get taken for a ride - order yours from us today!

This is pretty darn good cymbal for beginner/intermediate drummers. i have had it for about 2-3 months and i like it. the only thing i wish i would have done is got the 16in. i have the 14 in. its just a way to high pitched sound for me. but dont get me wrong its a good cymbal. I would deffinetly get the 16. its a good cymbal for its price cant get any better

This cymbal is junk!!!!! i bought the 14". the first time i hit it it bent. then i got another, and the same thing happened. the only thing about this that you can say is even sort of good is the sound. if your looking for a good, cheap cymbal buy the B8's. awful cymbal, wouldn't even recomend it to begginers!!!!!!!!!!

I bought the pack that comes with a 14" and 16" Crash along with a 13" hi hats and an 18" ride. For the money this is the best you can get. Zildjian cymbals are good and this one doesn't disappoint. There is a good sound and I recommend these cymbals for anyone.

Great Cymbals for a Great Price

I bought these cymbals in a pack, that came with all three. My first impression was 'Wow, these are cheap!' I didn't expect much, but was wanting to add a few cymbals to my rig. They sound awesome, and though the 18" has a really long ring, the 16 and 14 double as fast crashes. Not only that, but I've owned them for 4 years, with me playing on them about 30 hours a week, and just got my first crack, in the 16 (which is my most used cymbal). Great job Zildjian!
