'''Review:''' "This cymbal epitomizes the qualities of the ZBT line. It's very bright, loud, and cutting. The voice is intense and quick to speak, with an equally quick decay. (I gave it a preliminary hard shot with a stick, and had to go and glue one of my ears back on.) It didn't respond well to light mallet work—it really wanted to be played harder. When it was, it sang out. This China would cut through just about anything, and the price makes it especially affordable for students." <br>
