The ZBT Series cymbals are finely crafted from the same sheet bronze alloys as more costly cymbals in other Zildjian series. Zildjian Bronze Technology (ZBT) is the manufacturing technique developed by Zildjian's Sound Lab. It creates an instrument with tremendous projection, high volume, and fast response.

Anyone looking at buying individual cymbals will spend that on each cymbal, so this is a great package. Although the cymbals are not the best quality, they have a great look, and a decent sound. For beginner drummers with a budget, this is the pack for you!

Re: Cymbal Sets: Zildjian A or A Custom? A customs have more of a ping attack to them, whereas the Avedis have more of a wash. Both lines are relatively the same brightness, but the way that they respond makes one sound a little higher or darker than the other, in my experience(I own both lines).

I would not recommend Meinl HCS since they're made of brass and are at about the same quality level as the Pearl stock cymbals. MCS is in the range of B8's and ZBT's, etc., and would be a good first set of cymbals. Personally I think they sound better than Sabian B8's.

Meinl HCS Super Cymbal Pack is a great deal! These are perfect for what I wanted. The crashes, splash, and ride sound very good,, the high hats are good, and the china is okay. Only had them a few weeks, Assuming they last, I don't think you could ask for much more at this price point.

For over fifty years, mahogany was the standard material chosen for drum shells. Nowadays this expensive wood is less common, which is a shame. Its strong low end makes for a very rich, warm tone that gave many vintage drums their treasured tone and its enhanced mid range gives extra punch.
