Zildjian Pitch Black Pro Cymbal Box Set  

these cymbals are cut out of sheet metal, like zildjian zht, zxt, and zbt series. they are not made from nice metal like other nice zildjians like the a,k series.

These cymbals are okay.  Nothing amazing, but a good sound for the price. Get just as good sounding cymbals in the ZBT series

I went to my local music store yesterday to sell some of my old gear. While there I noticed that they were finally selling pitch black series cymbals, which I had been looking foward to. I asked to try one out, so the guy brought out a 16 crash. first, I'll start with the looks. It's really not that great looking. It seems as though it will slowly chip off, and the cymbal seems really thin. The gloss itself looks pretty stupid, as if someone couldnt decide between gloss or matte and put both on. The sound it terrible on them. They have these weird overtones that ruin the sound of the cymbal. The crash sound was pretty bad too, like glass breaking. I use Zildjians at home (zxt, zht, A) and am considering switching to paiste because zildjian isn't doing all that great in the sound dept. Anymore. If you're looking for good sounding cymbals, these aren't them, and if you're looking for cool looking cymbals, these probably arent them either. I'm really dissappointed, cause I wanted to get them to go with my pitch black export kit. Bad sound, bad finish, and definately overpriced! Don't get these, you will be severely disappointed. I know I was.
