'''Zildjian's Description:''' [[Zildjian China#ZBT|<<< - >>>]]<br>
'''Review:''' "I was having so much fun playing along to Black Sabbath in headphones testing out these new Zildjians. I was so positive about the ZBT 20″ crash/ride I thought about maybe putting on a Zildjian hat or something. But then … then I put the ZBT 16″ China up on the cymbal stand. Umm … it looks cool. It’s shiny, with concentric hammering on the inside, and a very rounded transition from bow to edge. But it fell short of the fantastic bargain example set by the crash/ride.

To my ears, it had an attack that was nicely hard and metallic, but too short. The decay, what little there was, lacked any of the spreading sonic gravel that should follow the Oriental bark of a good Chinese cymbal. This just went “dong” on one side.

I turned it over, got a “whoosh,” but not a very good one — still too short. With headphones on I rocked out on it a while, but it didn’t grow on me. Did I mention that I gave the Zildjian ZBT 20″ crash/ride two thumbs up? <br>

 '''Review:''' "There’s a lot of pang in the new ZBT 16" China. This cymbal has a bright, pointed, and somewhat classic China sound. Crashing on its edge brought out the full pang of the cymbal, while the inner bow offered sharp, tangy sounds that were great for accents and patterns. China cymbals aren’t for everyone, but any drummer looking for a reasonably priced model should check this cymbal out."
