STAY AWAY FROM ZBT’s! i have all ZBT’s and they were great when i was in highschool and just jamming with friends but they are totally trash. if your going to play live or thinking about recording in the future just save up and get quality cymbals. i’m kicking myself now for not getting good cymbals to start with. replacing all of mine now is going to be expensive, i’ve had to borrow a friends A customs for the shows i’ve been playing lately.
i suggest you get some used cast cymbals, thats what i’m doing now (replacing my zbt’s one at a time, just got the zildjian 21" sweet ride off ebay) check ebay or craigslist, theres usually some good deals.
when i first started buying cymbals i figured more would be better, no matter the quality, but if i could do it over again i would rather have less, but better quality cymbals instead.
