Product Description

From the Manufacturer

(July 7, 2009)
The Zildjian Pitch Black Pro Boxset is the ultimate no-compromise rock cymbal package. This boxset includes a pair of 14-inch Pitch Black Mastersound hi hats, a 16-inch Pitch Black crash for clear and substantial accents, and a 20-Inch monster of a ride that features a massive bell that just begs to be hit.

The classic HiHat sound with a brand new look. Click to enlarge.

16-inch crash for those quick accents. Click to enlarge.

Enough balance to be used as a primary or secondary Ride, or even a crash. Click to enlarge.

Pitch Black
The formidable sound and look of Rock at its absolute best. Pitch Black cymbals were specifically designed to be coated and played loud! Zildjian started with their high performance Bronze 12 Alloy with its enhanced tin content and added weights, sizes and profiles guaranteed to deliver the brightness and presence required for Rock applications. They then developed a proprietary coating process which allows the cymbal to be durable and strikingly beautiful, yet still open up like a cymbal should. These could be any more Rock would be to put leather pants on them.

The Ultimate Box set
The Pitch Black Series 4 Cymbal Pro Boxset includes:

• 14-inch HiHats
  The classic HiHat sound with a brand new look. The undersides are uncoated to maximize their chick and projection.
  
  
• 16-inch Crash
  For those quick accents. Could even be called a Splash if you are a real hard rocker.
  
  
• 20-inch Ride
  Primarily designed as a killer Crash to fill maximum sonic space, this cymbal also has enough balance to be used as a primary or secondary Ride.

Change How You See Cymbals
The first thing that hits you about these cymbals is obviously the strikingly beautiful black finish; pure black with contrasting Pitch Black and Zildjian logos on top of fully lathed Bronze 12 alloy. The second thing that will hit you is how great they sound. Shapes and sizes that produce the right range of tones and projection for Rock. Sort of like the one-two combination that comes out of nowhere. Pitch Black profile:

• Alloy--Ultimate Zildjian Sheet Bronze: 88% Copper, 12% Tin
• Hammering--Small round hammer strikes in a precision pattern.
• Lathing--Fully lathed top and bottom.
• Finish--Proprietry Black Finish.
• Sound--Medium brightness with strong mid-range presence.

Zildjian Bronze Technology
Zildjian Sheet Bronze Cymbals begin as pre-formed disks cut from metal with uniform thickness. Precision hammering and shaping pummels cymbal discs, loosening the alloy's molecular structure and freeing up its distinctive tone. Sheet Bronze cymbals have a very fast response with a quick decay, along with excellent durability and a consistent sound within each respective model. Affordably priced, Sheet Bronze cymbals make a great choice for beginners and pros alike.

What's in the Box
14-inch hi hat cymbals (pair), 16-inch crash cymbal, 20-inch ride cymbal

This review is from: Zildjian ZPB Pitch Black Pro Cymbal Boxset 14HH/16C/20R (Electronics)

These cymbals do not sound bad when played loud. The 20" crash/ride is the best of the set but I would not use any of the others for a live show. Overall, I'd say this is a great setup for a beginner/intermediate drummer looking for a home practice package at a reasonable price.

purchased this at $199.99 special a few months ago. Cymbals are powerful and full sounding. I have a full set if "A" zildjians and they do not sound as full as these. good price for set.
