Are Zildjian ZBT cymbals any good?

VERDICT. I am able to give a wholehearted endorsement to the Zildjian ZBT 20″ crash/ride as an excellent student or amateur cymbal. It is 100-percent good bang for the roughly 100 bucks. The 8″, 10″, and 12″ splashes, both ZBT and ZHT, are worth a listen.

What is the difference between Zildjian ZBT and ZHT?

Re: Zildjian ZHT vs ZBT The ZBT line is made of B8 bronze. It’s mainly used in beginner lines because it’s cheaper to work with than B20. ZHT’s are made of B12, which is sort of halfway between B8 and B20. It’s got 12% tin as opposed to 8% or 20%.

When did the Zildjian family family cymbals come out?

The ZHTs, launched in 2007, were Zildjian’s first cymbals made from B12 bronze alloy, with four percent more tin content than the (still available) ZBT’s B8. Now Zildjian has spent two “intensive” years in the Sound Lab making subtle improvements.
