Zildjian K Constantinople Hi Bell Dry Light Ride 22" - sanjuro's review

Zildjian K Dark Crash Thin 15'' - sanjuro's review

Zildjian ZBT 3 Box Set - sanjuro's review
Zildjian zbt's are ok as a starter cymbal pack. These sound a lot better than the stock cymbals that came with my first drum kit, but not by much. These are cheap, and have pretty great value. Thi…
Zildjian K Mastersound HiHat Pair 14" - sanjuro's review

Zildjian A Sweet Ride 21" - sanjuro's review

Zildjian A Custom Ping Ride 20'' - sanjuro's review

Zildjian A Ping Ride 20'' - Audiofanzine FR's review

Zildjian A New Beat HiHat 14" - Audiofanzine FR's review
(Originally written by minix/translated from Audiofanzine FR) Good sounding hi-hats. I bought them secondhand in 2004. The sound is quite heavy, like the HH themselves (especially the bott…
