Zildjian ZBT vs. Sabian B8 20 Ride
Please, I'd like some opinions. I have both of these cymbals and at best, both are okay for what I play (rock but not ear-splitting rock). I like the B8 bell but when the ZBT is struck in the middle it gives off quite a good sound, at least to me. I know that everything is subjective and that a lot of factors come into play. I just wanted some opinions here. I have no room to mount another cymbal and I don't feel like changing the ride on every three or four songs. I know that these are not high end but, they're going to have to do for a bit. Thank you!
Brian

Re: Zildjian ZBT vs. Sabian B8 20 Ride
Thanks, Mark! I'm sure you know far more than I do about these cymbals. From my limited experience, I tend to agree with you. I'll experiment a bit more with both cymbals. I tend to like a bright sound myself and with the stuff we are playing, that is probably what I'll go for( at least until I have the funds for better ones). Thanks very much, sir! I really appreciate your input as I know you are far more informed than I am!!!

At one point I also has a couple similar rides. Both were 20". One was ZBT (maybe a plus) and the other a B8 pro. Very similar, but I preferred the ZBT. Like Mark said, overall it was more lively.

I don't know if I have a better ear or not but, I know you're right. In the end, it comes down to personal taste. Thanks again for the input, Mark.
