The first hit(zbt)was brighter& sharper sound. The next (A custom) it has got a lower fundamental nice sound with the best sustaining opening control free sound.
I have Zildjian ZBT cymbals at church but i definitely would go with the Zildjian A Custom... Zildjian A Custom Cymbals gives it that crisp and over the top vibe.
The materials are different i mean the tin content. The ZBT is B8 bronze while A Customs are B20, which should sound different. But i like them both, ZBT especially because i grew up hitting them so much. The quality is very good for the price i would say. A Customs are warm, but never have i owned high end cymbals in my life, i've hit them in shows and that's it. Good and positive comparison video sir. 👍👍
I used to destroy zbts all the time. More expensive cymbals are much less prone to cracking because they’re more flexible. That’s why some high end cymbals can be ridiculously thin and still last.
Nice video.... Enjoyed it. Thanks. . Even though I speak of hi hats and this is a crash comparison. I want to share this.... . I bought a top A Zildjian 13 Mastersound Hi hat that a guy wanted to get rid of for 40 USD....Time moved on and I needed a bottom cymbal. Bought a ZBT 13 hat bottom for 19 USD as I could find nothing else second hand. I'm from South Africa BTW.... The two together sounds amazing. Exceeded my expectations.
I had a zbt rock crash, this was close to 20 years ago, hated it at first. But as the kits progressed and the cymbal collection got bigger, it really grew on me. Maybe it had to be broken in a bit. I grew pretty fond of it.
Every person on here being mean shouldn't be a suprise. The ZBT sounded better. Sometimes people will say mean things in comments to show that they play the drums too. Just keep makin videos man! This one was really helpful. People assume crashing a cymbal in a sall room with a cell phone mic is a good idea. I get why you did the test the way you did. I mean you literally describe it as "just a little tap" I prefer them ZBT's
Zildjian zbt symbols, and sabian b8 both have high amounts of a cheaper type of bronze. They're also not made with as much care as higher equity cymbals are. The Zildjian K Custom Dark series are very nice for a thin cymbal that's easy to open up with a quick decay. In my opinion, I like the thinner cymbals with a darker sound - but a nice clicky high hat always sounds good in metal and punk music.
Different stroke for different folks. It depends on what your playing and the sound you're looking for. I would have both for my set because I like to have multiple tones with my cymbals. But that's just me
Regardless if he hit them or not, we all know that ZBT stands for "Zildjian Basically Trashy (garbage)" entry level line. Every fleshed out cymbal maker will have a line like that where the sounds are a major ick. 🤣😵🙅🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
love when people just Make Content because they want to be """"Content Creators""" and its just shit like this lol. Didn't crash it, recorded off a phone mic so it's just going to immediately distort and sound like crap the second you hit it in any way. what're we doing here lmao
They're honestly too different to choose a clear winner or favourite. The first one (left) has a warm, low resonance that rings pretty nicely, as well as a good wide spread of frequencies, which would work really nicely in plenty of circumstances. The second one (right) has a nice sizzling crisp to it, and is a bit more focused in its resonance, but also has a more dirty and blended feel to it.
@@leonedwards7745 cymbals that sound good and are appropriate for the gig. Cymbals are a personal journey, good luck; listen, learn and discriminate. Each cymbal is like an individual person, choose your friends wisely.
I am pretty sure that those are part of ZILDJIANS' new line of Cymbals. I believe that they are both from the "DON'T HIT ME THE WAY YOU NORMALLY HIT A CRASH OR I WILL BREAK" Line of Cymbals!
I liked ZBTs they were nice but they would crack so easy. I love zildjian S seriesfor budget cymbals they are the biggest boom bang pow 💥 for your buck 🤘🏼
They're not a total waste, you can make decent trash cymbals or stacks or other effect cymbals out of cheap ones. Nice rydeen though. Actually one of my favorite kits, even toured with one. They're cheap, sound awesome, and they're nice and compact.
First rule of symbols is the same rule guitars. Every individual one is different regardless of what it says on it as for my opinion between the two, that a sounds more like a zbt then a freaking then zbt . I like grabbing a bunch of wuhan's in bulk of all the same symbol, spoiler alert, they're all different, you can buy like 20 of them for the price of the zbt. I definitely do not know it all, I'm just sharing what I've learned from trial and error
