I began playing clubs when I was 12. Had to sign a waiver to legally play. Throughout my life, I have played in so many bands at so many places and have gone through so many drums and Zildjian cymbals. I just got my 20" ride today. This is, by far, the best cymbal quality I've ever experienced. I also own an Avedis Zildjian from the late 60's (made in Turkey). This USA Zildjian outranks that cymbal and any other cymbal I've ever heard or played...no contest. Sweet. Perfect. I payed $125 in the 60's for the other.....and $79 something for this one. This is a must buy for any drummer.

I fell in love with this cymbal in the cymbal room at our local shop. Gorgeous overtones. Mmmm.

I bought this used about a year ago, and it was an impressive step up from using my basic kit's crash/ride. I loved it at first, but over time I found that its sound became boring and repetitive; I looked at other rides and the better ones have much more of an unpredictable sound, more natural and clean. I traded my ZBT in today for a Sabian HH, and I'm very happy. My other cymbals: Zildjian K Custom Dark hi-hat, Paiste Twenty 16" crash, Paiste Twenty 8" splash.
