Bringing together features like a medium-thin weight, focused bell size, and machine-precision hammering through the bow, the Zildjian 18" ZBT Crash is built to respond boldly and brightly on a kit. Fashioned in the sheet manufacturing process which takes a large swath of B8 alloy and "cookie cuts" the cymbal, this 18" rendition benefits from the option to elicit trebled ride capabilities as well. Perfect for beginners, the ZBT line also offers a bright counterpoint to darker cymbals on a set.
