5.0 out of 5 stars
Great starter kit, December 1, 2004
This review is from: Zildjian ZBT 4 Pro Cymbal Package (with Free 18 Inch ZBT Crash and Cymbal Bag)
Although the ZBT (Zildjian Bronze Technology) series is not nearly as good as the Zildjian A or K series, they are a major step up from Zildjian's Planet Z series.
This particular package is a real value because you get a complete set of relatively decent sounding cymbals that will seed a starter drum kit, yet grow with a drummer as his or her skills increase. These cymbals sound good, with more than adequate projection for most music genres, and a bright tone.
What you get: a pair of 14" hi-hat cymbals that are capable of producing a nice 'chick' sound, as well as a good wash in partially open position. The package also includes a 16" crash that has good cutting qualities and a fairly rapid decay, an 18" crash/ride with slight sustain and a bright ping (and the bell plays nicely too). Finally you get a 20" with a slight sustain and a very bright ping. As a bonus this package also comes with a 20" cymbal bag, which will protect your investment in this set when you go to gigs.
Not only is this a good set for beginners, but will also work well for more advanced drummers who are on a budget. The cymbals selected for this set will give you a good range of cymbal sounds - actually, you'll have every standard cymbal most working drummers will need. Later you can add specialty cymbals such as splashes and Chinas to round out your sound array.
