'''Review:''' "Evidence that the ZHT line is a serious contender is the inclusion of a 20" Flat ride. Thinner than the other rides, it wobbled increasingly as I laid into it, without building significantly in volume. The stick attack produced a sibilant shimmer that was reminiscent of expensive Flat rides by Zildjian and other companies. I could see why Roy Haynes, a devotee of bell-less cymbals, would take to this baby. If you're doing gigs where riding a loud, uncomfortable cymbal can be a painful experience, I recommend the ZHT flat." <br>

'''Review:''' "The third ride, a 20" Flat, was the most puzzling. It sounds as though it's being distorted through an electronic processor. It doesn't go 'ting', it goes 'zing'. In fact, it goes 'zzzziiiinnggg', like an electric razor. If you want a dark electro sound, this might be your dream cymbal. As a traditional flat, however, it's a weird one. It has crisp stick response though, which you would expect from a Flat."
