Zildjian ZPB Pitch Black Hi-Hat Cymbals

No longer available at zZounds
Designed for the rock drummer, the Zildjian ZPB Pitch Black cymbals are made from high-performance bronze alloy with uncoated undersides for maximum sound.

The Zildjian ZPB Pitch Black Hi Hats provide that classic hi hat sound with a brand new look. The undersides of the Pitch Black hi hats are uncoated to maximize their chick and projection.

The formidable sound and look of Rock at its absolute best. Pitch Black cymbals were specifically designed to be coated and played loud! Zildjian started with their high performance Bronze 12 Alloy with its enhanced tin content and added weights, sizes and profiles guaranteed to deliver the brightness and presence required for Rock applications. They then developed a proprietary coating process which allows the cymbal to be durable and strikingly beautiful yet still open up like a cymbal should.

hopefully awhile just upgraded my shells so I can't afford to buy new hats...
Sound
These hi hats sound great out of the package... The coating is now starting to chip and fade in spots and I have had them about 9 months... Still sound pretty good... These sound absolutely great out of the package, I also have the splash which still sounds great. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't gig on a regular basis... IE...more than 2 times per month otherwise they will just get ate up
Features
I went with the 15" mastersound and I love the 15" hats... hard to find at most places... There aren't really any special features its just hats... they open they close they make noise... they sound good!
Ease of Use
foot on foot off... if you can't figure it out you shouldn't be doing percussion
Quality
had them 9 months and maybe only a little bit of sound deadening
Value
for the price of them it is a good value.
Manufacturer Support
haven't had to
The Wow Factor
Well when they first came out I was drawn to them being black and wanted them badly, but now I wish I had just gotten brilliant finish... again, they sound great for the money. it is worth the money.
