'''Review:''' "Zildjian’s ZBT line is one of three lines — ZHT, ZBT, ZXT — aimed at the student and/or budget buyer. ZBT is a “sheet” cymbal line, which means the cymbals are punched out of a large sheet of alloy, cookie-fashion. This is common in budget cymbals. And as with cookies, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

The ZBT 20″ crash/ride would have been perfect Victor. This ride, with its evenly hammered, widely lathed surface, has a well-defined ping. The low wash under the ping is full, but not harsh. There’s a high-pitched wash too that I found to be a tiny bit shrill. However, that bit of low-budget whistle went away when I was under the headphones, jamming along to iTunes"<br>

 So, you could take this cymbal to school, play it in stage band, and then take it to your friend’s house afterward and play Slipknot songs. What it doesn’t do well is crash in the lighter, middle volumes. But we don’t expect a 20″ cymbal to do that very well anyway. Overall, this is a great student ride that can be crashed, and should cost about a hundred bucks “street price.”

 '''Review:''' "With even lathing and hammer marks ringed around the surface, the new 20" crash-ride joins the ZBT line as a second ride option and as the largest crash in the series. This new cymbal produces everything you could want from such a cymbal, making it a nice multi-purpose offering at the entry level. After a big fill, crashing the edge of this beast causes a great wash of sound that will fill any room. Playing with the shaft of the stick on the edge brought out more of the initial lows in the cymbal’s harmonics, while crashing on the surface with the tip resulted in a more pointed attack. Either way you hit it, the swell of sound was more than ample, creating a full, bright crash with a long decay, as one would expect from a full crash. As a ride, the 20" cymbal played quite well across the surface, exhibiting good stick definition, a bright ringing tone, and a lot of volume. Surprisingly, there wasn’t too much build-up, and I never felt that my ride pattern was getting lost or that the cymbal was out of control. The bell performed nicely, maintaining separation from the rest of the cymbal for distinct pattern playing. Sonically, this cymbal complements the regular ZBT ride. But it can easily stand on its own, making it a nice crash and ride option for drummers on a budget."
